They said the same thing about the MGP back in the day.

And the TGP before that.

And the link list before that.

And the pic post before that.

I know you'll say "but it's different this time"....but that was said about all the others, and you'll say "none of those gave away this much for free", but that was also said about all the others.

It's just the nature of things, margins shrink and business consolidates.

Not a perfect analogy but bandwidth margins used to be huge, so were cell phone margins with their ridiculous prices per minute.
Now those industries have consolidated and margins are slimmer, it's the nature of things.

I know you're gonna come back with the "nobody is giving those other thing away" argument, but like I said, it's not a perfect analogy, there is no perfect analogy.....but you could argue that selling something for half price is akin to giving half of it away. As is offering twice as much product for the same price

Cogent was going to ruin the hosting business.......remember that?
