Take back the MAN
North American Bandwidth News: "Telcos (including Verizon), please stop trying to give us your bogus bundled content. Give us the pipe and we'll fill it."
This is the promise of city-owned municipal area networks. In a world where the last mile is owned by the city, the applications and services become the sole focus of the Verizon's of the world.
Its a great equation - end users get unfettered access to the wide area network without suffering the ridiculous limitations we are forced to endure today, and content providers get access to millions and millions of households throughout North America.
I'm much happier paying for content if I can serve my own...give me my own IP address or give me death.
