I tired to download the report but it is too large. Still I see a slight of hand in this report. One cannot compare the effects of government regulation to that of free market investment in broadband.
The issue is the hidden cost of Government broadband since there report does not account taxes paid or cost of issuing bond that must be repaid. In addition there is the problem of lack of spending discipline in government where government tend to pay more for infrastructure than it needs to and for a system that has more capacity than people really need.
I also wonder if the report is rigged by ignoring the market for cheep lower speed broadband. I know many who feel 14.99 for 756K is enough. |
