Carole Sumler of Santa Monica, California, wants her Brand X Internet--and fears the Federal Communications Commission will take it away.
Sumler, Webmaster and online community manager for The Dream Exchange, a social networking site, is a loyal customer of Brand X Internet, a tiny Southern California DSL service provider. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Brand X's bid to gain access to cable networks' broadband lines. Ironically, that decision could indirectly also cost Brand X and other ISPs access to phone lines, making it impossible for them to offer DSL service.
