    SBC and Yahoo! have already answered this question (for example).

    I also think that most people on this list will remember the early days of
    broadband suppliers like RoadRunner who tried to build a "we are mostly
    local content, plus some Internet access" model which the customers hated,
    and they (for the most part) eventually abandoned altogether. Even AOL was
    forced by market pressure to provide real Internet to its customers.
