At any rate, I think dial-up dies in about 2 years. There might be some stragglers but overall the majority of customers leave for broadband. I think the bailout money + the digital transition is going to do it. Wow, Ben, I might need to setup a ‘drunk commenting’ module with extra preview functionality.
