everyone, telco's, cable companies, anything that runs a wire or two way radio signal into a building or area, is a isp these days.

that american cable companies are trying to "cable tv" the net with their lobbying for a right to request payment from google and similar is just a sign that they see it coming, and is trying, just like the *AA's, to stop it from happening.

the net is the modern telegraph, and its forcing changes on all layers of society, from how me "consume" infotainment, to how we interact with each other.

im damned tempted to pack a bag, and see if i can survive as a digital nomad these days...
