Re: It all comes down to price....

I agree. The typical DSLR reader represents a very small portion of the market. I would think if Verizon crossed the line that AT&T would do the same in those markets. Since U-Verse is IP based it doesn't have to be constrained to copper plant.

I'm all with the 'bottom line' approach, however, I've always seen 2 distinct arguments.

1. Bottom line pricing: I'll take a 3Mbps/512kbps for $25/month and be happy (for now). I'll save $25x12) = $300/year
2. Cheaper in bulk pricing: Some will say that 12-15Mbps for $50 is a better deal. Well, it is on a per Mbps rate. If you can justify the price, then maybe its worth it - I.e. online gamers, BT, etc.

I'm typically more of the option #1 approach, while I know most companies attempt to sell item #2 with packages.
