At some point in between 1990 and 2000 users of ISP's product (a service) became the enemy to some ISP's. The ISP's seem to have conveniently forgotten that when you provide a service you also must upkeep that service. You cannot loot that money while keeping the service VIABLE just to deliver fat bonuses to upper management and better stock prices for shareholders. If you do you will eventually wind up like Quest and Time Warner who have clearly oversold their capacity and their competitive speed of providing that capacity. What other reason would they have in buying themselves monopoly in some cities? That would be to keep these upgrade costs low because they don't have to compete in the "who has better net speed for the same price game." |
