kudos:7 | ILEC cheerleaders So now are the ILEC cheerleaders going to tell us this would be helped if we continue the trend of monopolization?
Competition drives innovation. Kicking independent ISPs off DSL and cable networks and limiting UNE for CLECs is just going to continue this trend.

I'm not wielding any pom-poms, but honestly, Verizon's FIOS seems to be responsible for a lot of the recent cable speed pushes in my area. Time Warner rolling out 15/2 speeds ... where have I seen those numbers before. Oh right, FIOS!
Comcast Cable was pretty steadily pushing our cable speeds up too when we had them.
The only CLEC left that's got big presence is Covad, and they've never been much of a residential "bang for the buck" provider to make much of a dent in this game. Their ADSL2 prices are astronomical. But they're trying I guess. Sadly I think CLECs can't reasonably contend with cable and fiber bandwidth. The distance leash with ADSL2+ is SO short to reach speeds like 15/2. AT&T had to place VRADs in every neighborhood around here just to engineer a 25/2 network.

Leeches only suck the life's blood out of the people that do. MCI/WorldCom, the first worldClass leeches to suck the blood of America. The leeches dropped US from 90 years being first to eighteenth in twenty short years. Die leeches, die. |
