my view, corrections welcome : If you remember a few months ago I mentioned about the congested internet " assisting " networks self regulate speeds thus using less channels on wireless, the hour of deliverance is near. Orange have done the correct thing. The cost going upwards is due to a " more " usage of " local loop " channels. Wait until this thing really hits home, especially most wireless networks. Those who put 1 or 2 base stations and " got " away with vsat bandwidth is expensive are frontline now. As an example, you thought AK was laying a network because of expansion, think again ( BTW, I like all providers, so am not picking on anyone specific ). :-)
