Re: Cry Cry Cry

There is no wireline monopoly. You are free to star your own ISP weather it by Wireless or wired.

How do you figure the government provides a monopoly for wireline carriers?

There is a wireline monopoly because the freakin government helped the isps to start with favorable laws (you must have heard of these little things called franchise agreements). Tax breaks to telcos etc... Sorry the government is already involved, so really all it's doing is correcting a previous mistake (which unfortunately is the best course of action even though it is ultimately doomed to fail).

Go start climbing up public utility poles and hanging wires.. I won't pay your bail..

Wireless is a different story, but is also not a viable alternative yet. If it were, we'd all have a high speed wireless option instead of the wireline regional MONOPOLIES that are in place.
