DSL –vs- MSO –vs- FIOS- vs- Wireless –vs- Satellite –vs- BPL =’s lousy service for America.
The United States is so far behind other countries from a communications perspective. Who loses? America.
The FCC needs to open the U.S. markets.
1. Open up the 700mhz band for open choice
2. Let consumers choose their equipment independent of carriers
3. Wireless – pick your own phone or device
4. MSO Operators – Allow people to use the tuners on their TV’s
5. MSO operators – Allow people to purchase their own cable boxes
6. MSO operators – Allow cable cards that work
7. The FCC needs to set min standards for cell phones
I think the whole system stinks. Everyone is carving out monopolies from a geographic or platform or equipment perspective and the consumer loses.
Blue-ray, 720P, 1080i, 420i, 420p, DTS, DD, THX…. What a joke….. who loses? The consumer.
iPOD, MP3, WMA, Flash Video…. What a joke… who loses? The consumer.
The thieves are watching the hen house and the American consumer is dinner 24/7
Corruption is alive and well. Too bad the head of the FCC does not have to run for election
