Ironic, isn’t it? The internet providers in Los Angeles are charging over $20 per month for internet service, but the businesses who are seeking internet access don’t need much of it at all.

 

And not just in Los Angeles. Every time I turn around, a business either in or near the greater Los Angeles region is offering more than their competitors to get into the business of internet access.

 

I’m sure that our local internet providers didn’t go around suggesting to local businesses that they should become internet providers just for the quick profits. And I doubt that they sat down for a breakfast meeting to determine exactly how much internet access their prospective customers would need to make their businesses more competitive. But they should be worried. Because we’ve been to the internet provider’s breakfast meeting.

 

A typical, local, provider’s fee is around $12 for up to 5 gigabytes of internet access. We’re a business who needs more than 5 gigabytes per month, but we’re only charging businesses $10 per month.

There are plenty of business that actually pay more than $10 per month for internet access. For example, Los Angeles Business Journal columnist Jim Stoppani recently wrote about the businesses in Los Angeles who need upwards of 100 megabytes of internet access for their websites.

 

I doubt they’ve met with internet providers and asked them for more information or connected with internet providers who don’t charge their customers more than $10 per month.

 

I’m sure that at least some of those companies didn’t even attempt to do that. They just went ahead and paid the internet providers the $10 or more per month they needed in order to maintain a competitive internet access cost.

 

As for our local providers, they’re not only charging us more than competitors who do provide much less business. They’re charging us more than internet providers who provide internet access to much bigger businesses.

 

A business that pays for up to 10 gigabytes of internet access will pay $17 per month through our local providers. As our local providers’ internet service provider, our business will not get internet access from providers that provide internet access to businesses that are selling to millions of internet users.

 

Los Angeles providers will certainly be losing business to businesses that offer much more competitive internet service. As they close their doors, our internet providers’ financial fortunes will start to fade.

 

The internet providers will go out of business, our internet providers’ customers will flee and businesses will begin to flock to our area. Even businesses that don’t even have the internet access that our local providers are still charging us for.

 

Businesses everywhere will be able to get internet access for less than our local internet providers are still charging. So our internet providers’ competitors will simply take business away from our local providers and our local providers will go out of business.

 

Which would be ironic. Because even though those local internet providers’ businesses have gone out of business, they still provide internet service to the businesses that we already have. Those businesses are our internet providers’ customers.

 

Which means that we, the consumers, who support our local internet providers with our business, would be the ones who would be punished for the mistakes of our local internet providers.

 

Who loses when a business goes out of business? Not the internet provider’
