Tallahassee, FL | I think I think Broadband as a utility is an inevitability. I think we're still looking at least another 4 or 5 years before we start really seeing it though. People are starting to rely on the internet as a means for finding jobs, keeping in contact with clients employees and employers, and ot her general thing like saving money on purchases or purchasing hard to find or not locally available items. Dial-up isn't cutting it for the such demands. Also college kids (and even kids in middle school) are finding the internet a more and more resourceful tool in furthering their education. In the coming years this trend is certain to blossom and the demand for it will have to be met. As cable companies and telco's are currently practically giving away broadband in the hopes of creating loyal customers, I think we will see the prices shoot up once the demand hits and people are hooked. Especially if more isn't done to deploy and there's more demand than there is availability. Only time will tell.

I wonder if in the same time period, landline phones will no longer be seen as a utility, with broadband having taken its place.

Broadband and cellphones could and should and hopefully will eventually. |
