I don't see the need for acquiring a regional ISP and the "twisted pair" infrastructure costs that would be incurred. I agree. The regional ISP business isn't something I'd want to be involved in right now. It has high capital cost and a risky income model. Companies that play everything right will do well, but even they face increasing competition from the utilities that have been doing this sort of thing for years. GNET seems focused as a content creator and aggregator. I'd be disappointed to see them move so far from that focus.
