That will give people options. But what will really give people options is wireless. The internet is an open protocol, and it's dependent on few links (7, right)? It's a hard animal to tame. It's going to take a lot more than US telco to tame it. And just when they think they've got it, it will mutate into wireless. It will never be tame, because it mirrors humanity. Humans communicate, and they need to do so freely. They'll always look for ways to enable this. The internet like a giant symbiotic fungus that we're going to be with forever.
