Re: Good for them

This could happen, it's one of the dangers of allowing vertical market penetration. But it hasn't to any degree. I think competition and customer outcry are enough disincentive for now.

I suppose we could just wait for them to follow through on what they've stated they would do, until the whole public outcry thing blackboxed it again. Don't forget it will be a slow squeezing gradual degredation. More profitable that way as you can capture some of your soon-to-be-X competitors revenue's with zero effort.

In 5-10 years when you're going to Embarq.net (or whoever) to search, check your email, do your banking, read your news, and buy anything online, please give yourself a smack in the forehead for me, and maybe a nice loud "doh!".
