Higher Access Rates Good For Libraries?

AOL announced that it is raising its monthly fee to $23.90, its first price hike in more than three years, and This News.com story says that competitors such as EarthLink won\’t be far behind in trying to boost rates.
I\’ve seen elsewhere that DSL and Cable Modem companies are raising rates as well.


According to a recent survey by Telecommunications Reports International, the number of U.S. homes with Internet access dropped slightly during the first quarter of 200 (Let\’s just ass-u-me it\’s accurate).


So… Does all this point to more people using their friendly neighborhood library to access the internet, and if so, is this even good for libraries?
