WHAT private high-speed network providers? Even if iProvo only provided internet service to those of us who CAN'T GET DSL, it would still be profitable and a valuable and worthwhile venture. (Besides, calling cable or DSL "high speed" is laughable.) Besides, it's not like Qwest and Comcast have any OTHER viable competition. In the current market, nobody but the government could compete with them anyway -- a situation which, in fact, was at least in part created by the government in the first place. ===== PGP Key ID: 071B173D Fingerprint: ED30 B048 6833 56B4 28C0 CE52 F12B 884A 071B 173D ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
