KYA27, buying a newer and faster modem is a 1 time cost, anyone needs
more speed just gets an internal or external modem for $30 - $120 and
plug it in, and you get more speed, NO HASSLE! No monthly charge, just
plug it in once.
I am paying $50 / month for BASIC cable channel because I have NO CHOICE, I am not going to pay $50/month more for internet access, I'll wait until the price is
below $20 /month or less, why, because I have choice. People are habitual animal, they tends to use what is already
there unless there is a special need then they will go out searching for better service, that is why ATHM has only 330,000 customers and
AOL has 17 Million customers, no secret, AOL reaches you with a
disk/CD, you just loaded following the easy installation instructions.
No appoinment, no wiring, portable, good habit, good environment, that is what AOL is providing, you can actually login the internet
anywhere in the world with your single account as long as AOL has a local or long distance number available, try that with a cable connection.
ATHM may have future but that future will grow very slow because
inconvenience. They cannot do CARPET campaign like AOL, they cannot reach oversea users like AOL, why? ANYONE in the WORLD who
owns a telephone can get to the internet and paying $20/month + - but
not everyone can get the cable internet and not paying extra monthly
fees.
Never ignore the fact that majority of people are afraid of using
computer, only intelligent people uses top-notch technology, such as yours, but intelligent people always think Hey, I can do it, so can you , wrong! |
