Re: Details...

Ok, yes, in total, nearly 2 million active ports. But not all of it brings in the figure you quoted. GAS rates are a fraction of the cost of the retail product which is $47.99. And not everyone is on a total plan. Many a client are getting 3-5Mbps sync for total cost of about $30 a month, with between 60GB (sympatico contract/retention) and 200GB (TSI, etc.).

If it was base + usage, I think everyone but the small minority of large P2P downloaders would be better off. Plus IPTV over the GAS product was never going to work... totally unsustainable for the ILEC. It would throw contention ratios out of whack and generate a huge load for no extra money (unless their is usage based billing).

Doubtful that a bell anything would come up with a reasonable base fee or a usage charge. Probaly would still charge between $30 and $40 which people are paying now and then add to it the usage. Either way anyone looks at it the bells are going to get their double dipping wish someday.
