Re: $28.95 for 200 kilobits--What a joke! Agreed.
While the hype they put out is the miracle to all, I remember when cable use to make the same waves. But everybody in the industry has limits that they put on themselves.
I don't see this as a miracle for broadband. Sure it sounds good because everybody has power lines, but don't we also have phone lines, and where is the old comment 'well if you have phone lines then you'll be able to get DSL'.
If this did catch hold do you really think they'll even consider going into rural areas for the first 5 years of deployment? 10 yrs??
If this did go full force it would start in cities, with high population where there is already choices for broadband. |

$30 for 200kbit is ridiculous. Folks with no other option would take it, I'm sure but if cell phone networks pick up finally like they did in other parts of the world or muni accesses ramp up faster this 200kb for $30 would become the most expensive broadband pretty soon. |
