Cheap Broadband is the Oil of the Modern Economy -- Shouldn't This Have a Greener Hook?

270px-Sun920607.jpgVery interesting post comparing cheap broadband to cheap oil on Mashable.

Here's the lead of the piece:

Oil and broadband Internet access are the twin fuels of both brick and mortar businesses and Internet based businesses. When oil prices are low, economies can zoom at light speed. When prices are high, many businesses can barely put one foot in front of another. A look at the history of oil might serve to help us understand the importance of ubiquitous, low cost Internet access, which is currently growing at a snail's pace in North America. 

Quite good from there, too, but couldn't we just have a greener headline in this fuel-challenged age that we live in today?
