Is that what happened? Makes sense. Back in 1999-ish I was a software programmer for a regional ISP. We served the San Francisco-San Jose-Monterey-San Luis Obispo areas. We did dial-up, DSL, ISDN, T-1, 3, OC, wireless (certain areas). We also had a data center and offered a lot of so-called “cloud” services, before it was a buzzword. We did a lot of cool things. But after I left it seemed like the company died when the big ISPs took over.
