Re: Public utilities should stay out of private competition

said by Of course they are. If they priced it at fair market value they'd be more expensive than everyone else and the one thing I've learned from this site is people demand bandwidth for cheaper than it costs to provide it.[/BQUOTE :

How is it that the U.S. have the slowest broadband access compared to the rest of the developed countries? It's not fair market when there's only two or three high speed service providers in any market. From where I'm at there's either crappy Frontier, Comcast, or Direct TV.

I wish there were more competition so the govt. won't have to get involve. But until there is, I'll welcome any the govt.

'How is it that the U.S. have the slowest broadband access compared to the rest of the developed countries?'

Because of artificial gov't intervention.

If America wanted to be the number one auto-producer we could be with the gov't mandating cars be made and subsidizing the cost. Hell, China became a major steel producer briefly during the Great Leap Forward. But the growth was artificial and unhealthy. It was also wasteful and counterproductive and ultimately fell flat once it reached a level of effort that could not be sustained.

Americans have the broadband they're willing to pay for.
