 When internet access service was in it's infancy, 1995 to 2001, I had access to between Five and Ten Dial-Up ISP's. Competition forced ISP's including AOL to move from measured service to flat rate service. I believe that a customer needs access to at least Five or more Broadband ISP's in order to be in a true competitive market. I do not see that happening anytime soon. I am stuck in a market with four broadband technologies, Comcast DOCIS, Embarq DSL, Satellite and Verizon EVDO. Verizon's cost, speed and it's 5Gb monthly usage cap take it out of the running. Satellite's technical issues, cost and speed take it out of the running. Hopefully Clearwire will be a cost effective alternative without draconian limits. |
