Market Structure Of Internet Providers

Dial up service is available in a wide variety of prices (from a low of $5.50 per month to a premium company offering of $22.00 per month). Companies that offer DSL generally offer this service at $35 to $40 per month. .

             Entrance and exit to this market are marked by relatively low barriers. Internet service providers buy access to phone lines but are not charged interstate access fees by the FCC.
