This is the same model as television.
Wrong.
TV is a one-way broadcast service, same cost for regional coverage regardless of number of potential customers.
ISP is two-way point to point, and each customer costs money for connectivity.

Telephone service is a better model. Don't see any free phone calls, do you? Wonder why?

Hope someone can invent a model for free houses and free meals. Then I can retire.

<<Is it free tv? >>

Actually.....great point !

Think about it....my network tv is free...abc, nbc and etc....I pay..willingly for many other channels hbo and etc....what do I watch. The channels that I am paying for. Why don't I watch the networks ? Because I like the other services better and am willing to pay for the higher quality.

Damn...now what in the world does this remind me of??<<ggg>>
