Then will be forced to go to broadband, when they next computer
they buy has no modem in it. Every computer I have bought since
2001 has come with no modem, so I have been using broadband
of some kind for many years. A number of computer stores
have quite selling computer with modems (and some have even
quit selling modems), so for some people, there will be no choice
when they buy their next machine.
