"On a per megabit basis, U.S. consumers pay 10 to 25 times more than
broadband users in Japan.:"

Grrrrr.

GoogleNet.

I'd happily pay three to five dollars for ad-free GoogleNet. (Assuming
it has at least DSL speed. Where's that f.o.?)

Tampa is due next year is it? At around $50 for 50 mbits?

Then perhaps we see plain vanilla DSL from NetZero for 9.99 at 1.5mbts...:)

We have a habit of milking something for every bit it's
worth....sometimes that slows progress that "could be"...well, until
reports like the above are released...

Thanks for the link!
