Re: I Never Could Understand AOL

waiting 2 yrs to jump on a market in a technical industry is a VERY long time. thats enough time to let any other company kick your ass completely in a market.
dsl cost just as much in 2000 as it does now ($50), so saying only the rich people could afford it then is so very untrue. the only difference in price between then and now is install prices - many ISPs now have promotions which give discounted or free installs.

Fine, but what ignoring are they doing now??? 2 years ago couldn't be that late to the party. Almost nobody could get broadband of any kind in my top 10% of the wealthiest INNER INNER suburb in 2000. What did you expect them to do? What has any other non-infrastructure ISP done? Earthlink has a lot of DSL users who run on the backs of the RBOCs, but they almost surely lose money on all of them.
