Badru Your reasoning is very right but unfortunately you too know that it is not what is on the ground. I always come across ISPs (names withheld) competing for 5 point LANs against companies that have no choice but to earn a living installing LANs and trying as much as possible to offer "dirt cheap" prices. This has made me believe strongly that the day any opportunity is sensed in the content area, the same ISPs will go for the jugular this time round. Not that I am complaining but I am simply trying to emphasise the fact that the ball is not entirely out of the court of ISPs.
However believe you me, the day I conceive any killer idea in local content provision, I wont need a tow car to drag me forward.
