| hey, it's broadband in the U.S. what do you expect? with no meaningful competition, the incumbents will try to monetize everything they can.
once the incumbents suck up the 700Mhz spectrum, putting to rest any hopes of new competition, I'm guessing that rates will rise and all sorts of "new" charges will start appearing for broadband service. |

| Not necessarily, it depends on how many there are and how many are competing in one place. And of course how aggressive the incumbents are. Places that can only get cable internet pay more than where DSL is available. Places where FIOS is available get a lot better speeds from their cable companies.
Eventually they will try to pass some law that prevents them from competing, or regulates broadband prices, but until then I expect steady progress... not as good as other countries with more competition but something none the less |
