Re: Bill allow Internet over power lines in TEXAS
said by california 4 BPL:
But there's a catch: As currently written, the legislation could spread the multimillion-dollar cost to all utility customers -- even those who don't need Internet service or want it. The utility would then get to keep 60 percent of any resulting profit -- while only 40 percent would be returned to electric customers through a credit on their bills.
That's nice. Now, even though I already have cable or DSL (or don't want any high speed access), I have to pay for it.  
For all the anonymous trolling you do for the BPL industry, this is not a way to win people to your side. Why should I pay for something I do not need or want?
If you think the utility companies are going to let this provision slide, you are sorely mistaken. |
