| Another idea Break the telcos and the cable companies into 2 parts- 1 the cable plant, and 2 the services division.
One fundamental problem now is that companies that have the desire to provide innovative services don't have access to the cable plant. If you go to »fiberinternetcenter.com/ you can see that these guys dig up the ground and put the fiber in. there prices aren't cheap, but then they don't have the help that subsidized services provide like the phone company does. If your neighborhood ISP could get access, he could make things happen. Hurricane Electric offers 100 megabit Internet access available for about $800 a month in Fremont- BOTH WAYS. If fiber was available to your neighborhood, then this could apply to you. Think about it for a minute, if you took 2 blocks, say 20 houses and split that up, that would be $40 a month. The problem is getting it to and from the neighborhood.
