You work for a company operating in another industry that is doing much the same thing! I don't see Adelphia's cable Internet services in Cleveland being opened to other ISPs. (Yes, I know that Adelphia just entered the market about a year ago, and yes, I know that the cablemodem rollout is far from complete.) Time Warner isn't, either. I heard about them doing it in about a dozen test markets (Central Ohio being one of them) but haven't heard anything since then. To the south of my home, RoadRunner is *huge* in Akron, Canton and Columbus. But it's the same old song and dance... And I don't understand why every single ISP (regardless of size) isn't doing more to stand up for open access. Ultimately, it will become an issue of survival. -- Tired of Earthlink? Get JustTheNet!
