said by benc:That would leave Time Warner Cable as just a dumb-pipe bandwidth provider -- and that's the deepest, darkest fear of any cable or phone company CEO.
And why is that so bad? Maybe that's exactly what people want?
Out of an ISP, all I want is access to the Internet, with no restrictions or filters. I don't even want to lease the modem, although it's fine to purchase the modem from the ISP if I don't already have one.
I'll worry about the content, the set-up, and the maintenance of the internal network (if the problem really is at my end I won't call the ISP's technical support).
EXACTLY!
