Re: waiting for the other shoe to fall...
said by supergirl  :Hate to say it, but the Telcos are really not getting any government support to build-out anymore. ... they don't need govt support, they are f*ing monopolies. How did they become monopolies? Govt support.
the really maddening thing is that in Japan and France, the CLECs, that became successful because of line sharing, now have enough capitol to start building their own infrastructure, such as fiber.
If competitors are not given a chance to share last mile infrastructure, we will NEVER get a competitive market in the U.S.
as for telcos losing money on UNE-P, I posit that's a big line of BS from the telcos. It's so difficult to determine exactly what telco costs are because of shifty accounting and other tricks.
As it is now, the U.S. is likely stuck with the current monopoly/duopoly situation for the next several years. |
