Re: Congratulations Jim "Cable, DSL, satellite, dialup. Four competing services."
That is absolutely incorrect. Look at dialup as competition. There are numerous local and nationwide dialup providers. You can cancel your dialup service and sign up with another in minutes. Can you with DSL or Cable, no. In both you are looking at a week to 2 week migration, from DSL to DSL its even longer, you have to turn one of before the other. In DSL unless you are both a Voice and data provider, you can only sell DSL to ILEC voice customers, if they chose a CLEC for service, you can't compete on bell and that one clec can.
Lets look at who can get DSL, only people within roughly 15000 feet of their CO... How bought satellite, only people with southerly unobstructed views, cable only people that are in areas served by cable TV.
There is no competition here, just the perception of competition. Competition is two people offering the same service to the same people. | |

kudos:2 | I'm kinda amazed that you picked WOWed as your unregistered handle. Are you aware that there is a cable company called WOW (Wide Open West) and what it is that they are up to?

This is exactly why I got out of DSL. When a company by the name of PBI (Pacific Bell Internet) first surfaced it brought an entire boat load of CLECs and ISPs down, I was one. I owned a company by the name of SunFAST DSL and got to witness just what unfair competition was.
I want to provide broadband, and today I do, but I do it without wires (that could be WOW, too) 
I choose not to be dependent on the Cable or ILEC for my last mile.
Jim, I salute you in your battle. I am very familiar with your company and know you have been around for years and and wish you continued success and luck.
