| There is a market for this.
Imagine the headaches of analog dialup. First, the maximum you are going to get is around 53-Kbps provided you have a nice hardware modem and clean phone line. I doublt many are getting this, especially on average.
Now, imagine a 56-64 Kbps digital solution much like an ISDN line with the SLA, AND the ability to try much higher speeds from time to time.
Its like selling cigarettes to kids, and crack to ... crack addicts. And yes, broadband IS addictive and I am a broadband addict.  Its a means to get rid of analog, and a means to encourage market growth in full broadband. |

| I've been supporting something like this for quite some time. A low-cost, low-speed, internet connection via DSL or cable technology to offer those who only use the internet a little but still don't want to tie up their phone lines. I hope these trials prove fruitful.

Can you imagine if Ford did this with the Focus. Let's say it has a supercharger, but you could only use it three times before it quit working unless you went to a Ford service department and paid $300 for another three uses?
I'm just surprised it took this industry so long to apply that kind of marketing by addiction. And whatever mechanism they are using, it would be equally interesting to apply it to DSL Ultra with enticements into Extreme. |

Isn't that what happens now anyway?
