why in the world would anyone want to purchase dsl from a private reseller when i can get 4mb down 384 up from comcast for $25?

Broadband access may become limited to the cable provider and the phone company, once access to the CO becomes impractical, while cable remains closed. High rates by wireless is for a reason. Networking positions will remain with private ISPs. Don't expect prices to remain "competitive" after a shake-out either. Things are seldom better with fewer choices, either for labor or the consumer. So what will you be doing? -Doug
