Re: That $800 T1 Line

So what you're saying is, since they have a monopoly for high-speed, they can charge those folks whatever they want and put whatever restrictions they want--- I see.

If the limitation of the service capability demands it, yes.

Since it's their satellite, YES.

Feel free to build and launch your own satellite and offer whatever you want for $19.99/month.

Glad you do.. but do you really? Where is the "monopoly" that you speak of?

Google is your friend.. "satellite internet" - and then also look at »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly ... check it out.

void of all that.. see the other two replies above mine as well.
