Know What Self Regulation Brought Us

It brought up 90% of mom and pop ISP's who were the pioneers at getting Americans online nothing but grief. Most have since gone out of business or through a series of mergers and final acquisitions by a telco disappeared entirely.

Because telco's were not required to sell at a discount they priced wholesale access to DSL a penny under what their customers would normally pay per line. So it was impossible for any of us to make a profit upgrading to DSL and as our dialup customers upgraded to DSL we were slowly forced out of business.
