For 33 US dollars a month ...


IMAGINE that for $33 a month you could buy Internet service twice as fast as what you get from Verizon or Comcast, bundled with digital high-definition television, unlimited long distance and international calling to 70 countries and wireless Internet connectivity for your laptop or smartphone throughout much of the country.

That’s what you can buy in France, and similar speeds and prices are available in other countries with competitive markets. But not in the United States. ...

From Yochai Benkler's op-ed in NYTimes.

    For $30, I have comcast xfinity internet and 120 channels including many HD in the US. And, BTW my salary is double that of my counterpart in France.
