In the net neutrality debate, the last mile service providers are in a position where they need to upgrade their access networks, but the end-user pricing is not necessarily keeping pace.
You make a common error: That we the people should be concerned with Comcast's (et al) business model over our own ability to obtain the best service at the best price. That we should be so concerned that we are willing to legislate and regulate against our own interests lest Comcast et all suffer an economic injustice. It's an interesting, albeit not uncommon, view of economic justice for corporate entities. We live in an economic advocacy society, not one driven primarily by economic justice. The latter is generally called "charity" and charity for huge corporations is, well, just that. Obviously one has every right to advocate for corporate welfare but let's call it what it is. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
