Corporate greed rears its ugly head again

Internet access is vital to the majority of small businesses these days, especially home-based businesses. Only with the Internet can I put up a storefront, albeit a virtual one, in a matter of hours. VoIP makes long distance and international calls very affordable. It is a shame that corporate greed is being allowed to trump national and local progress in broadband connectivity. However, the time seems ripe for the right outfit with the right know-how to replace these businesses that rely on outdated laws to stay in business.
