Re: Have you ever heard of the free market? Jim, that attitude works in a free market, but we don't have a free market in broadband. So we have to be careful. When AOL went to flat-rate, it created explosive growth. Do we want to reverse that?
The Cable TV Companies already have a flat-rate product that they'd prefer you used -- their TV service. They know that raising the price on Internet bills will drive eyeballs away from the computer back to their service.
Now they control prices on both Cable TV and Internet and there is currently insufficient competition to check-and-balance that power.
Is this happening now? What do you think?
