[quote=Brovo] This example doesn't work for the main reason that wherever McDonalds is, there is another restaurant of comparable calibre nearby.There are many areas in the States where there is only one or two ISP's. It's a monopoly or duopoly, and nothing stops them from charging whatever they want to, except maybe a cleverly worded law suit......And at this rate, even that will be a joke.
