Folks can't buy something that you refuse to sell to them ...
...Verizon's strategy is to refuse to sell DSL to millions of their lower-ROI customers, and use them as hostage "bait" to push for USF-like subsidies in D.C. Or so it has been reported by dslprime.com. Apparently they've computed if they can squeeze a new cash cow revenue stream out of the government, it'll be worth it in the long run to forego the revenue from these subscribers for the time being. Maybe a smart thing for VZ shareholders. It just sucks being one of these subscribers, and eventually a taxpayer, once the VZ lobbyists work their magic. |

Frontier is the local DSL and they just decided to put a 5 GB / month cap on their High Speed Internet. I think this will be a cause for a major migration to Time Warner's Road Runner, since they don't have any caps at this point in time. |
