| of course it's going great for the incumbents obviously the cablecos think broadband in the U.S. is a big success - they have a monopoly in most areas and the Supreme Court has decreed they don't have to share their lines.
screw whether speeds are fast enough or prices are too high, that's not their concern - making as much money as they can is their concern and they are doing a great job.
as long as the gov't lets cablecos and telcos run U.S. broadband policy, we will fall further and further behind the rest of the developed countries. |
| A big success in their view is making as much people as they can without killing off their subscriber base. Gov't won't do anything about it due to the corps lobbying so much, quite disgusting.
What we really need is more companies coming out and moving into areas and compete, but it's doubtful that'll happen in areas that are already under a monopoly.
One of my family members for example has to have a Cable ISP, on top of that the ISP also runs the phone system in that town I think, so theres no way anyone can move in there unless it's a wisp. And that's doubtful to happen.
All in all it's honestly a joke here, hopefully we'll be able to fix this before we're too far behind.. |
