Well duh...

$22/mo for dialup, $30-$40/mo for 1.5Mb DSL...plus horrid off shore tech support?

And they're shocked they're losing subscribers to competitors?

Why not just charge $50 million per month for dial up? Then they'll only need 1 subscriber.

In other news, Wi-Fi would do just fine so long as they get away from the cities with their hands out looking for free Wi-Fi. COVAD (formerly Nextweb) is ripping me for $160/mo for my ultra crappy 3Mb WISP service and I would pay double if it only worked like it supposed to.

There are plenty of areas even here in FiOS filled SoCal not servicable by DSL or cable where ELN could fill the gap and make a mint, especially from small business where cable and telcos don't deploy advanced services.
