Re: What a way to run a railroad. said by Mr Matt:  Yes the Broadband ISP's are running their business the same way the Railroad Magnates ran their business in the mid 1800's. This seems like an apt comparison.

Wait, who is that I hear in the back of the room? Why it's Georges! Georges Santayana! What did you say, Georges? Could you speak a little louder? Yes, I know, you are dead and whatnot and it's hard to raise your voice much higher, but give it a try. Oh. Ok.
Georges said "At the risk of repeating myself: Those that forget the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them".
He always says that. |

said by funchords:This seems like an apt comparison. Not really. None of at&t, Verizon, or Sprint (the wireless divisions) are attempting to market or define their service as a competitor to landline connections, and for good reason. There simply isn't enough capacity, no matter what they do.
It is marketed as and deployed so as to be an adjunct to your fixed connection.

Additionally, customers have not yet figured out a way to trump physics and information theory. When they do, I guarantee all the wireless carriers will happily replace all the landline broadband connections they can.
