Indirectly Good (Score 1)

Actually this indirectly could be a good thing. The reason a number of Broadband alternatives such as Wireless, Various DSL alternatives and Sprint Ion went under was their cost of delivery was higher than the market would pay. So if AT&T drives the price up more competitors will enter the market which at some point will drive the price down again and stay do to competition hopefully after they've amortized their startup costs and then can afford to drop prices and stay in biz.
