That's part. The thing some broadbanders (and want to be) have to worry
about is bundling, and those "too good to be true" offers.

You mean ads for '3 months of DSL service for $19.95'? When you check,
you find you are outside their range limit, and why don't they tell in
the ads how much the charge is after 3 months? Sigh.

The example near the end of the PDF uses SBC's $14.95 offer as an example.
The contract, the bundling with phone service, the termination fee. Things
that when taken into consideration make the offer less attractive. Plus
the less than upfrontness of it all.
