We don't know because the service provider rolls that cost up along with th=
e services they sell. That is my point. They are able to spread the costs=
out based on the profitable services they sell. If they were not able to =
sell us services I am not sure they could afford to provide that infrastruc=
ture. In fact, having been a service provider I can tell you that I paid t=
he LEC about $4 a month for a copper pair to your house to sell DSL service=
at around ten times that cost. I am sure the LEC was not making money at =
the $4 a month and I know I could not fund a build out for that price.

What is the average monthly (non-subsidized) access cost that your friends =
