I don't expect anybody to continue sup****t when it's no longer 
economically feasible, and it may well be in this guy's case. But, I 
also think that if there are alternatives for his customers that are 
more economically attractive than his service, they will follow them, 
and he will suffer for it. Some of us don't like piling up credit card 
debt just so we can have the latest gadgets. He loses in the short term 
no matter what he does. So do his customers. The way I see it, nobody 
really wins, except maybe those who are salivating for the part of the 
EM spectrum that's about to open up.
