...narrow, to be more precise. The aging patchwork of thin wires and microwave towers that brings phone service to millions of Americans in remote spots like mountainous Leadville can barely transmit at speeds of 28.8 kilobits per second or less--assuming they can dial up a local Internet service at all.

Now, according to the latest tally released yesterday afternoon, the dial-up king has 17 million customers. Key is the value of users, not at this point in the game for how much they'll give you but for how much some other web contender will pay to include your users in their "network."
