a good article there.

One of my friends tried to start his own ISP business. He was providing 56k access and had some customers from here in Nebraska and a person or two out of state (South Carolina and Wisconsin). But he just recently had to shutdown his business venture because of the exact thing the article is referring to. To get anywhere he had to conflict with big coporations and this wasn't worth the time or effort to make a measly buck or two. I wanted him to offer cable or some other type of high speed access but that just never evolved. So now here I am...getting stuck going with AOL Time Warner's Roadrunner. I'll have to see if this cable connection is as good as everyone tells me.

good news.
