I worry about the potential issues with these 'private' deals with public officials and mega corps.
They typically end up only helping the major corporations, and allow for many exclusive access deals.
Interestingly enough - Radio ads here in SoCal (knx1070) have Verizon promoting business broadband (assumed DSL) but advertising 7 'megabytes' per second - with voice and phone for $79/month.
You know this competition is way off verizon need to set fios in other city's where uverse isn't available. witch would you have it compete with uverse and have a lower customer base or go some where where uverse isn't and have a large customer base
