Re: Excellent..... Oh, I'm a strong supporter of flat rate, no cap. But yes, I think again we in the US mostly get the worst of both worlds.
We either need the government regulated utility style, hopefully done up like NYSEG does with the utility owning the lines and charging a reasonable and set rate for maintaining them, and you buying internet access from any electricity vendor you like at their plan / rate / deal...
Or, we need to open up and let many more companies run lines, put up WISP towers, run cable whatever...
I prefer the first as I think it really is working well for NYers in that you can get better rates on electricity now but there aren't 500 different sets of power lines running by.
I suppose we could use the PUC etc to regulate the existing vendors, but I think it would be better to just open up the lines like we did for local and LD phone service so everyone who cares to compete can link in at the CO or whatever...
