Re: What is wrong with discrimination?

Ray, there's no "you" here--I don't work for or represent in any fashion any telco. Please don't accuse me of not doing some job "right"--by your political standards.

I do however, reject the efforts by tin-pot dictatorships called local governments that try to manage competition, extort free broadband for government, require "public access" channels that run puff pieces on local politicians, and otherwise seek to turn business into their own little piggy bank.

Doing the job "right" means different things to different people--and in the case of local government, it all to often means kissing up to the cable company that has been distributing Christmas gifts to government honchos for years and sticking it to the telcos that have been regulated at the state level.

Requiring "build-out" by telco video competitors is one more ploy to delay video competition--a ploy that you are either part of, or deluded by.
