[ale] Colo NE Metro Atlanta?

[Christopher Bergeron]

I highly doubt that.  I think the smart ISPs are taking the money and 
running in light of the latest [Republican] government legislation.  No, 
I'm not flaming here, I'm  just stating the facts.

Pro-business = anti-consumer.  Period.

The smaller ISPs _CAN'T_ compete anymore, so they're forced to sell out 
or die.

Kind regards,
CB
