What's more, we all know technology continues to get ever more cost effective. In practice, it may only turn out to be 32 or 128 or 512 - don't know, yet. We are heading to Gigabit and Terabit backbone bandwidths. The cost of providing bandwidth, for this one example, is going down, not up. As is RAM memory, as are Hard Drives, as are CPUs, as are LCD monitors and on and on.
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all other forms of government.
In response to pesttech1 California is not the only one. How nice, its the phone company that is raising their prices on DSL and Cable now. Sucks to be you. It doesn't suck to be me. I would say it sucks to be in Charter Pipeline areas, where they were stuck at 512k down, or in Verizon territory stuck at 768k, all with a lovely 128k upstream cap.
