There is a heavily government regulated side and a for-profit side. The power they provide to customers is regulated. Fiber internet/telephone/tv is "for profit" and stands on it's own.

Of course BVU a few months back had a hard time getting customers to swallow that after a contract renewal raised their power rates and they passed them along to the customers. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18227983 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 20:14:17 EDT Re: This is Progress? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18226840 pnh102 :

$50 for 5/256 internet and combine that with a weak TV lineup.

Wow.
Don't forget that electric customers are also subsidizing these rates. I'd hate to see what the "real" prices would be without that.
