Go figure, you mean we really can't be replaced by slightly trained
monkeys? ;)
Further, I don't see how Earthlink becoming a successful wireless
network operator is a good thing for any of us. Unless of course one
of our respective companies is actually operating part or all of the
network.
I understand the sentiment, although it is not as threatening for us out
in BFE, but I do see two benefits.
* It would help to portray wireless as an alternative to cable and DSL.
My existing customer get this, but some new customer, especially coming
from places that only have DSL and cable look at it as a last ditch
alternative like satellite.
* It would take more business away from cable and dsl. I don't say this
in the 'screw the cableco/telco' sense, but mean it in a more diverse
competition is better sense. The less of a strangle hold that cable and
telcos have on the internet business, the better off people are.
