Re: Hrm

I am going to amaze you MORE, I AM A REPULICAN. But I am also an IT man and know the climate of broadband in this country. I know that the current scheme of less than five companies competing against each other. Is NOT going to cut it. We need to drive competition and one of the ways to do that is REFORM.

A Republican in California is a Moderate Democrat, and also believes in closed bathhouses for the Log Cabin Republicans (wealthy people who want to protect their money so they can afford their lover but not divorce).

Re: Hrm

That sounds like something I would hear on Leykis 101.

I do agree that a Republican (I'm a moderate myself), asking for a federal broadband plan is not a true republican.
Competition is a good thing, and a certain amount of government regulation would be good to kick start everything, however, the FUSF/USF, etc. should have been funding this, not the telco's slush fund.

Pittsburgh, PA		 Since when has Government intervention and regulation ever driven competition? The fastest way to kill broadband development and deployment is to let some corrupt government bureaucrats get their shit-hooks on it.

Re: Hrm

Ownership caps promote competition as does refusing to approve mergers (as rare as it may be).

Has worked in many EU countries... Probably elsewhere as well..
Incumbents have been forced to share the network they inherited. But this was done already in the US with CLECS and ILECS, afaik.
