Re: Confused said by WMLGuy:Quote from article: "If I go to the airport, I can buy a coach standby ticket or a first-class ticket," Smith said. "In the shipping business, I can get two-day air or six-day ground." Bellsouth, along with every other ISP, has this today. Slow Internet access (six-day ground): $14/month Faster Internet access (two-day air): $40+/month I don't think it could be said any better. Someone needs to remind these execs what business they're in.
Telcos are just green with envy (and greed) that content providers are really starting to make money. They probably had a big meeting to figure out how to get a piece of the pie. |

What is to stop telcos from doing this to any internet site, not just Google?
Do you think Google and the others are going to just sit around wand wait for ISP's to pick their pockets?
All BS and others will be doing by trying this is accelerate the competition in their own markets. What Google and others will do is fund their own ISP services and where would that leave BS and SBC? |

Haven't you guys figured it out yet? This game has already been played, and the monopolies won. |
