Any idea of what how much, as a percentage, Verizon or any other DSL provider with sub-$20 service took in last year? I'm willing to bet it was more than the 1-2% the average supermarket made. And relying solely on future earnings to fund what you are doing now doesn't really seem to smart. What happened to previous years profits?
My point is simply that DSL cost more than "squat" to provide, even after investing a half mill to just have the service available.
