I wish the author hadn't decided to use Moore's Law as a standard to measure the price against. It takes away from the point, or maybe is the wrong point entirely. I do feel prices are higher than they need to be for the consumer, and I very much feel this is because I as a consumer (at least where I live) have only one choice in the matter, cable or DSL. I wish we were debating that and not discussing why Moore's Law doesn't apply to this situation.
