Re: What is the difference then

Muni's have been somewhat innovative? By offering regional based content a la the Google/Microsoft business plan. I must have missed that article. Or are we now considering offering an increase in bandwidth and a decrease in price "innovation" ? Oooo, they're pricing schedule is a whole two years ahead of natural market course, that's amazing, so innovative. Oh and I don't know about the great white north, but south of the border our private companies are continually lowering prices (albeit at a rate to slow to satisfy their customers). I've never seen a private company hike my rates on my internet bill.

"I've never seen a private company hike my rates on my internet bill."

Umm, are you reading the same articles EVERYONE ELSE is? There have been over 7 articles over the last week where the ISP is RAISING their prices. Verizon, Comcast, TWC, etc. They are all constantly raising prices, adding in new fees, adding new restrictions, cutting off people.

Wow, you obviously don't read what you don't want to see. You MUST be a neo-con.

Aren't you being presumptuous in assuming that this person is using one of the ISPs you listed?

When Verizon is hit with a new tax they pass it along. That way you can falsely toot that Muni Wi-Fi is free.
