the usual cries of "they built it, they should (fill in the blank) or whatever carte blance reasons given for the free marketeers positions...
Let's see how long it takes someone to build a competing network. Say, a hundred years?
That's not even the point. The problem in this country is that someone shouldn't have to build a second redundant and mostly useless network to transport the same medium. Either the government builds and owns the lines or makes sure others have access to the "private" ones at a fair price. Sorry, but this nonsense of "it's ours" that is part of the national infrastructure is getting ridiculous.
