Heaven help the fools that try and stand between the masses and their quest for knowledge. Well then, somebody better tell AOL and friends to get out of the way!

Sleeper, I like your forethought. Efficiencies will prevail. The Internet will be the catalyst for them. It already has and much wealth has been created as a result. This wealth is and will continue to facilitate more efficiencies. The notion that the ability to obtain access to information is viewed as a priveledge is very shallow and unrealistic. The fact of the matter is that it's too late, it's already happening. The global economy is evolving right now and the companies that facilitate it are driving socio-economic advancement across the globe. The real difference between the 1800's and now is that the wealth created in the 1800's was a result of controlled access to information while wealth created today is a result of open access to information. -t

Deny the best to the masses and you invite upheaval. What kind of socialist nonsense is this anyway? I sure hope you dont mean what you say. "The best" is always more expensive, unless it is direct from God. There is nothing about "denying the masses" in charging what something is worth. If you give broadband to "the masses" before the infrastructure is capable of handling it then it wont be broadband anymore. I guess thats equality. Everyone gets the least common denominator. Eric
