The internet and private network access began as a people dialing up ISPs from several differnent telecom networks to their BBS services and their Inet providers and now that may be about to die...
Just a thought... I just read this article over on Techrepublic (for which free membership is required but one can probably find a similar story on one of the CNET news feeds). Independent ISPs are going extinct. Due to the current nature of the technology it is just more efficient to offer both hardware and software access through one vendor for any hardwired system.
What is the answer...
Not wireless, as in cellular access, that is just more of the same, alloted vendors with some sort of bandwidth selling internet access to us via that bandwidth.
However, if someone out there reads this, the best idea for competitative internet access is to set up wireless networking zones and then sell access to those points to people. Because then it does not matter how many wires come into the home, and which of the (eventually) three wires one chooses for access, there can be hundreds of competing wireless networks in any given area.
Just a thought...
