Re: When will we get real broadband at prices we can afford?

It might for a short time. Some local competitors which have been strongarmed by AT&T / Comcast may be able to provide profitable services once those entities are gone.

More likely than not, however, they would also begin raising prices at an abnormal rate, once they've settled into their role as the primary game in town.

Meet the new boss.
