Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1696725, member: 27"] Don't know where you are getting your data from, but I don't think it is accurate. 28% of American households have only one wireline cable provider (at least as of March 2014). If you include wireless providers, the number of households with no competition for Internet access is ever lower. [B][URL='http://qz.com/186881/nearly-one-in-three-americans-have-no-choice-when-it-comes-to-their-internet/'] Linkage[/URL][/B] Companies can't charge the same prices for Internet access that have been charged for cable because a) there is way more competition and b) all the fees for individual channels no longer apply. As wireless bandwidth gets bigger and faster, the competition is just going to get tougher. Prices are not going to explode like you are thinking...the US already has really high prices and if anything, they are likely to decrease. [/QUOTE]
