Stephen, If and when the babay bells and their partners see it being done can they not also do it with a new partner owned by them and a crony in the entry country?. The cost of entry is low as you say $10K and it can make $500K, get ready for the rush. The problem is the low cost and ease of entry. It breeds competition. I can see a coop amongs ISPs to do this very well. they all have the phone lines and the high speed pipes, they just need to kick an internet person off just wehn they need to make a local call frpm a far data stream. So they will get outgoing call use of their lines and a share of the revenue. Many of the busy flat rate ISPs have a kick off priority list now, I am sure many have been kicked off at busy times. If we all go to a digital dial tone we will just see a slightly slower data rate when they put an analog call through, and they would not need to kick you off(until even the analogs suffered,,of course)
So what is to stop ISP-NET from starting up as a long distance call provider and charging a flat rate of 10 cents per minute with 5 cents to each end. It sure beats $19.95/month unlimited access rates.
At $3 per hour for a phone line at both ends it would also depend on quality issues. Those who demand quality would go to ATT and us paupers would use the ship to shore radio....over Bill
