"Verizon and BellSouth are boosting the fees they charge for high-speed Internet access, joining AT&T in a sudden barrage of broadband price hikes made possible by the financial woes crushing their...[competitors]."

OT The Greeks digging a ditch to lay water pipes discovered some ancient copper wires. They send it to a lab in the US. The scientists, upon running some tests, discovered the copper wires to be at least 2.800 years old. The Greeks concluded that communication by wires was already common 2.800 years ago!!! The Swedish dug Stockholm for about half year and found absolutely nothing. Hence their conclusion that Scandinavians already communicated by wireless 2.800 years ago.
