ERIFNOMI

Was the city a largely technology heavy city before, or just your average city that attracted people and businesses due to the rather unique internet situation?

Definitely isn't common. It's more common that if you're not at work, you don't get paid.

You...have a 10 year old you can't trust to stay home alone?

An example of this might be Verizon Wireless and AT&T for mobile phone service. Those two are by far the largest in the United States. Their coverage is reliable and far spread enough to say that they cover most people. Their prices and services offered are nearly identical and anytime one introduces a new pricing feature, good or bad for the consumer, the other does the same. An example is the move to tiered data plans and then family data plans. One could have kept unlimited data like the smaller carriers are trying to do and they probably would have taken a lot of customers from the other once those contracts ran out. Instead, they both went with tiered data plans because they can make more money on overage and as long as the two major carriers were offering the same or nearly same service, they wouldn't have to worry about losing customers.

You'd be wrong. A lot of people who eat "organic" are just following some hype-trend and aren't actually being healthy.
