Reply #9: that's not a bad point [View All]

That is a great deal of business that will be lost with small timers just giving up and closing shop.
whorporations always look at the "bigger" picture RE-big clients, without actually SEEING the big picture, that is small business is what makes EVERYTHING work!

If you look at employment, even though so much is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, the majority of the power for the economy and employment in general comes form the small businesses. Corporations hire as few people as necessary, often overworking their drones to death! SMALL businesses are more forgiving, and hire as reasonably needed.

By doing this they will kill what is really the majority of their business. Many people with dial up may stay there (dial up is pennies compared to broad band clients) and I think some BB people will go back to dial up because if you can't get the pages you want at high speeds (natural I-net speeds) than what's the point of having DSL?

I am constantly amazed at teh short sightedness of corporations now a days. It's as though they can't see past next month!
