Humans of a certain age will remember the brief period when accessing the internet meant shelling out a monthly fee to AOL. For most of us, this gave way to better business models well over a decade ago. But as Recode points out today, 2.3 million souls never got the memo. Not only that; their rates have somehow gone up. As the kids say these days: 0.o

How is that (much) different than shelling out to Verizon, Comcast, Cox, and all the other money-hungry thieves out there?

$20/month for DIAL UP or not much more for the cheapest cable/DSL from the other money-hungry thieves.

Sadly, I haven't found anyone else in my area that wasn't mucho dinero.
Is AOL still dial-up? That is sad.

Yeah, that was the part that boggled my mind. I know it wasn't that long ago that I loved my new 56K modem, but I think I'd rather rely on library/coffee shop wifi these days than go back.

In almost all of the US it's impossible to sell broadband without owning your own set of to the customer networking. Back in the late 90s DSL was regulated the same way as voice landlines and the phone companies were forced to allow 3rd party resellers but cable was allowed to extend its TV monopoly to its internet service; at the time AOL was a relatively large 3rd party DSL provider too. The phone companies sued that this put them at an unfair disadvantage and eventually convinced either the courts or the FCC to agree; unfortunately they "fixed" it by allowing the phone companies to become monopoly ISPs too.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

After a journey of more than 10 years and a total of many billions of kilometers, the Rosetta spacecraft has finally arrived at the comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. "By being seldom seen, I could not stir, but like a comet I was wonder'd at."

It’s hard to list just a few languages that you should learn, especially since so many of those languages have their ups and downs. Programmers need to monitor technology, and carefully weed out the fads that might get big buzz one day, only to be gone the next. "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
