First, require all cable providers to open their data networks (e.g. broadband portion) to independent ISPs. That way it offers non-cable/telco competition on the service-side. This is a consumer benefit.
Second, make a requirement that every municipality in the USA franchise a minimum of two cable providers. This would be a direct-competition from other cable companies. While arrangements can be made between two cable companies sharing the same physical network, it is not a requirement. As such, an unshared deployment would yield two distinct networks from the cable industry. |
