Re: Sigh...
They don't HAVE to do anything.
The point is, by being allowed to have a duopoly on the last mile wireline service, they are put in a position to leverage the duopoly to make cloned internet services look superior. You take away the wireline duopoly leverage and their service may even be rated sub-standard. When you have a government provided duopoly (as most are) you should be required to offer an even playing field for services you enter in competitive markets, or you should be restricted from entering those markets.
Otherwise the logical conclusion is the party with duopoly leverage will eventually control every related market as well.
I'm not sure what the difference is between a prioritized packet and a NAT mapped packet moving across the same network. A simple service registration process for VOIP service providers would make it a moot point anyway, I would think. |
