FCC hammer + DSL = bad for U
Ars reports that the FCC wants to re-classify DSL as a information service rather than a communications service which would allow telephone companies to stop leasing their lines to companies such as Speakeasy and Earthlink. Competition would dry up and soon there’d be a nice fat monopoly for those that don’t have access to other forms of broadband such as cable or WiMax or powerline. Bye bye $19/month DSL!
