I am not even sure consumer prices will need to rise significantly in order to get cash in for infrastructure. ISPs will have to invest and maybe borrow, but they'll find that cash. I don't know much about the situation in the US but in Europe the larger ISPs benefit from an oligopolistic situation, something that pleases markets. This whole survey thing looks very much like pressuring for public support, aka money. Interesting input Kari.

The other problem is that the ISPs can pretty well control the demand. Sure, I can demand thousands of p2p transfers and streaming videos and voip and what not, but my ISP provides me with the 4M connection I've paid for. It would be rather irresponsible of the ISPs to offer bandwidth they can't deliver. This means that as demand increases, all operators need to invest into their infrastructure. The other solution in a market economy, as i see it, is that prices for high-speed connections rise. Scarce resources and all that. (yes, and I am not French).
