| Competition... As I've posted before, municipal fiber networks foster competition by reducing the cost of entry into voice, video, and data. It can also reduce the costs of the bells and cable cos if they're willing to jump on board, making them more efficient, too. All this leads to lower price and higher bandwidth for the consumer and business within the towns with enough foresight to have a network to which everyone has access.
It's not a matter of putting cable companies or telcos out of business, it's about bringing meaningful competition to medium and smaller sized cities, which have none in the last mile. Has the removal of the duopoly injured the wireless industry? |
