I'm with Mr Gaskill on this one. I know where electricity comes from, it is 
generated by market forces (despite what you used to think) and it is priced 
at exactly what's its worth and one may chose to buy it or not. So is 
aluminum, steel, and gasoline. ISP services are (or soon will be) the same. 
The internet is growing exponentially right now and the infrastructure may 
lag for a while, but the the forces, market forces, are irresistible and it 
will catch up. So rest easy and don't worry about it. As for you socialists 
out there, cool it. You've done enough harm this century.
