1 edit | I got a bridge to sell... ...to anyone that doesn't think the major ISPs will eventually start favoring their content over other net content.
may not be next year or even the year after, but it's coming if the broadband market stays the way it is and the major ISPs continue to control the last mile.
on the other hand, wasn't this the beginning of the end of @home? |

If the Wireless companies didn't have their head fully inserted in their marketing and business plan asses, they'd play this into the dominant position for broadband access. Of course, the owners of those Wireless companies are the same entities who own the major ISPs, which means that the whole mess will continue its slow slide into anti-customer, anti-competitive mediocrity until technology allows a new entrant to get traction without using any of the incumbent assets.
