(corporate) History repating
This sounds like the same thing that happened to the airline industry. People were paying $1000s of dollars for "first class" tickets, business travelers got gouged for last-minute travel, and passengers had to go through the painful routing of the hub-and-spoke system to get to their destinations.
So Southwest Air comes along and figures out that people just want to get from point a to point b quickly, cheaply, and with minimal hassle. The legacy carriers have been playing catch-up ever since.
Now ISPs are scared to death that if they offer cut-rate broadband, they'll lose their customer base. You watch and see how long it is before they're playing catch-up too... |
