Re: ISP's want to treat subscribers like a Mushrooms!
Yeah, rather interesting to see that the former wireline operators (Verizon and AT&T) are now pulling for 700mHz LTE deployments that will probably cover many of the areas Verizon sold off in the landline arena.
Brilliant. Especially when people are used to 5GB mobile caps and thus, having no other alternatives due to being served by a bankrupt telco, are offered 25GB by Verizon or AT&T on their new LTE equipment.
Actually, there are plenty of rural cell carriers that use Telular gear to offer POTS-style service over a cellular signal right now. not so hot for internet though; I don't know of a single rural carrier that has upgraded to 3G, though some regionals have rolled out EvDO networks (Bluegrass Cellular for example).
