10.00/mb for ISP's...not residential. If you're paying that much for ADSL you should contact your cable provider and go with them..you're gett'n ripped off.
This is interesting coming from AT&T who tries to sell bandwidth to ISP's at unbelievable prices compared to the likes of Level3, Cox, Cogent et.al.
The statement seems to elude to the internet being a finite resource which it isn't. If there is a capacity issue ( there aren't enough 'tubes' as our president would say;) ) service providers will increase the capacity as long as the ROI is there and they can make money delivering content.
So, expansion requires investment and returns...so I would expect that we'll see and gradual increase in pricing per Mb...the days of 10.00/Mb for internet connectivity will become harder to find by 2010...
Should be a fun ride!
