There's a contradiction in there. It is thought that the savings that Comcast, cox, or Expedia will have will not be passed down to consumers but the quality of life at poverty level will be better because Internet, Cellphones, and such will cost less?

Anyway, that's not enough information to determine if you are a bad guy or good guy. I would say you're just a guy working on something with little idea of what the future holds. Much like the rest of us.

They won't pass 100% of it on in the US, but in Rural America which tends to be served by small ISPs not having technical support could lower the costs such that there would be some margin in a market that larger companies wouldn't serve because the profitability was too low.

Companies like DMCI that provide the Internet at my parents have high costs for support because it is done locally, and by a small team. They could provide more affordable service in underserved areas.

That is a good point. I was thinking in much broader terms than what you describe.
