Once they establish themselves, their prices invariably reach parity with the others, or even go higher if they have a following of True Believers. Rushing in only makes the consumer vulnerable to their every whim. What happened to that open Internet? On that same topic, there's a new meaning to "net neutrality" that's creeping into the FCC lingo. It is now synonimous with "regulated like a telco," under Title II of the telecom act. I'm convinced that the majority of avid Internet users do not want their Internet broadband access to be regulated by the FCC, and yet the FCC is pretending that this is what they are out to achieve. People have to listen carefully to see what the different interests are truly after.
