    That's why we in the UK have telecomms regulation, and BT (the dominant operator) has to make its wholesale ADSL service available to competitors at the same rates it "charges" itself.

    Much less chance of such blatant price-fixing.

    Sounds like it really sucks to be a consumer under At&T, Im a cunsumer in the US and didn't realize it was that bad. Somedays I wish we did a lot like the UK does with regards to businesses but it's a give nad take I guess.

    As the world inexorably moves to computing and storage as a utility, and as energy prices and climate change (price of GHG emissions) loom ever larger in the economics of cloud computing and data-centers, and as information transmission (bandwidth) costs thrift savings plan continue to plummet, the relative importance of (carbon-neutral) energy operating costs will continue to increase strongly. (The other main factors being: construction costs, access to bandwidth, legal jurisdiction, security, availability of skilled workforce.) Sooo…. why Iceland?
