you should be careful what you wish for.
the reason why Home broadband is relatively cheap is because companies make money by selling their voice or video service.
The reason why Wireless broadband is expensive here in the States is they were "leased" for a huge cost from the goverment.
If the companies are reduced to dumb pipes, then you will get a dumb pipe. You may also get bit based billing. And also be stuck with outdated technologies because companies would see no benefit to spending all the meney for network upgarding when they have not made their initial investment cost.
We all want cheap access, but someone will pay. Maybe everyone will become an IP service provider ona goverment run Wireless Network.
