"I really believe we will be bypassing the networks and cable content providers and getting our content directly from the internet soon."
Problem is, there are still large parts of this country where there isn't anything but dialup. There is no DSL and there is no cable. There are still state (not my state but another state) and local government offices that dial in. Whenever they have dialin problems I look up the area code and prefix to see who it is and more often than not it's some telco I've never even heard of before. Probably same small hole-in-the wall operation still paying off RUS loans.
