"We rent the space in the R.O.W. from the electric company; ask them for that money, if you think it's important." If you had to pay what it's really worth you'd be out of business in a blink. ==================== So the electric companies are subsidizing the cable companies?
I get 15 Mbs from Comcast for $20/month - $1.33/Mbs. And $.08/GB (if I used all available). That doesn't seem too far out of line given the generally larger distances and lower average density of the USA.
