fathers of the bell system were hardcore capitalists

So what are you saying, today we only have softcore capitalists?

Or are you saying that they had an easier time selling the telephone that didn't exist in any form than someone today would have selling a fiber network that already exists within miles of most of the homes?

Remember, the great thing about technology is that the future has this great way of getting cheaper. You have to believe that. I can show you a video card I paid $1700 for that can be replaced for less than $50 today and it wasn't that long ago. I can give you a zillion examples just like that.
