T is gonna charge so much that only AOL,MSPG and ELNK will be able to afford access

Limited of course by the fact they would have to charge ATHM the same price, so the $30ish per customer wont get any higher if the MSO's (not just T) want customers. I agree that probably only the major ISP's would have the resources to properly connect into a broadband cable network.

Do you have any idea how the equal access is being done in Canada? What other ISP's have connected up? How do they handle the "equality"? How about the bandwidth sharing?

HW, competition is coming from a completely different quarter and T will be in no position to call any shots. That also means that that collection of junk manufacturers you quoted are headed for a bust.

If that's the case, this would be fine, but from the post I was responding to, the writer was implying that the use of the pipe would be free. That was a bad idea and in my opinion it was not going to fly, except in that backward part of the country where the courts passed that law.
