Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) are dying a slow death…

Investors who realize this fact early could cash in on a brand new tech boom that could produce a new generation of high-tech millionaires not seen since the 1990s.

Comcast, Verizon and other government-protected duopolies won’t be around for your grandchildren to enjoy — at least not in their current forms. You see, companies like these are selling outdated services. And they’re more than reluctant to change their business models.

First, consider the home telephone. This beast is becoming scarcer by the day. In fact, mobile phone-only households are becoming the norm. Yet despite huge increases in wireless sales by traditional telecoms, it’s the wireline segment that keeps these blue chips in the black. More than half of Verizon and (NYSE:T) AT&T’s revenue comes directly from wireline sales.

For the old-school telecom giants, it’s all about infrastructure. They want to milk

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning with no access to the Internet. No e-mail. No news. No streaming video.

Even though the Internet as we know it is only a couple of decades old, this is still a difficult scenario to comprehend. Entire businesses - literally thousands upon thousands of jobs - exist because of the web.

Now we’re entering an age of Web convergence. Every single element of our old media - radio, television and print - is migrating to the Internet at breakneck speeds.

Within the next five years, the depth of offerings on the Internet and the global population connected to them will grow exponentially. In fact, the worldwide Internet economy is now growing at such a rate it will be next to impossible for content providers to keep up…

Bandwidth is being eaten up left and right by more data-intensive offerings, such as streaming video. Young people are also gobbling up

Being a small player in a competitive industry, Internap (INAP) has a relatively low revenue growth rate, which fell to 8.5% in 2008 over 2007 versus a growth of 29.1% in 2007 over 2006.

Although the company has been gaining traction in its data colocation services, it is witnessing softness in its content delivery network (CDN) and Internet Protocol (IP) business. Much of this has been caused by the weakening economy, which resulted in higher churn rate, longer sales cycle and lower subscriber addition in Q408.

Though the company has been making important upgrades to its CDN product, there has been a lackluster performance in the segment for the last few quarters. INAP provided Q109 revenue and EBITDA guidance, which was in line with our previous estimates. Thus, we maintain our estimates for Q109. As such, we re-iterate our Sell rating.
