Re: FairPoint gives us no reason to hope for the best...

HCT,
Check out the progress that is being made on WiMax and Satellite. They speeds that they currently enjoy are about as fast as the slowest DSL connection. And they haven't been able to reduce the price of installation enough to even start to compete against wireline installations.
WiMax will never get off the ground in mountainous states because too many towers have to be installed to be useful. And satellite is too expensive to cover all but flat areas of the country.
