I have worked on computers for years and have owned my own shop for just at a year. I charge $50 an hour plus parts, for in home service with a min. charge of one hour and i work by the job in-shop. half the time i go out to someones house and there problem is supper simple. I have on two occasions been called out because a modem reported no dial tone. I head to the door with modem in hand only to find out when i get there that the family pet or kids pulled the cord out of the wall. I almost felt bad hading them the $50.00 bill..... almost
It seems google has been very interested in alot of new fields. We have seen acticles detail there interest in mozilla, dark fiber and they have a growing Gmail system. With all the investment cash they are sitting on, could google be building the foundation for there own isp. I would go with google over AOL any day.
