| Building a network
"Filling the pipe" is the easiest part when creating a new network. If they don't want to build a WiFi network maybe it's because they find out it would not be advantageou$. -- Jesus saves, but only Buddha makes incremental backups. |

| I've got my Internet access by an ISP wich is cable company. It's the same pattern for Earthlink; they could own the network feeding their customers. They could build a national WiFi network and "fill" it with their backbone. -- Jesus saves, but only Buddha makes incremental backups. |

| They could, but they really couldn't and Sunburn 's statement is a valid one. The trend is toward a further division, not union, of connectivity & server-account services.
One of the reasons residential internet providers have mostly sucked is that *everything* about being a good infrastructure build & maintain organization is fundimentally contrary to being a good acct services provider (financing, geo-location, skill set, management of workers, yadayada). In a deregulated environment the customer benefits when they are separate. A lot. |

| Looks strange to me, maybe it's because I live in Canada, trends could be different. Thanks for your opinions guys!  -- Jesus saves, but only Buddha makes incremental backups. |
