 The Future

With the way things are trending Land Line based broadband will shortly be billed at the same insane way as wireless. I see no hope for improvement on the wireless front. The "free" market place has failed us. The problem is of course is that it is neither "free" nor a "market place".

I am coming to the conclusion that true competition in the age of the mega corporation is a delusion.

Sorry for my morning cynacism.

Its really a delusion when these mega corps are in collusion. The trends of these carriers are a slap in the face to the very people that made them "mega" in the first place.
This is a commercial for a bank....watch it and notice how applicable it is to broadband carriers today!

Dang, I want that CD.

Seriously though, barriers to entry are way too high for entry into the broadband market, mobile or fixed.

Too big to fail, too big for competition to hurt.

Not exactly my form of capitalism.
