Right. Often, this is due to a combination of technology limitations -- =
with DSL, upstream and downstream bandwidths are tradeoffs; with cable =
modems, limited upstream bandwidth is inherent in the technology -- =
coupled with an obsolete model that assumes that consumers mostly =
download.
Besides, if you can charge more for business service, why not...?
