Re: 52.6% of US households have broadband HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
Let all cable cos and telcos compete in the same market, after all, they now offer the same set of services. I could never understand the reasoning behind a telco or cable company having absolute right to a particular market without any competition. We need to remove this regulation.
Imagine you can only buy Chevy cars in market A, and in market B be you can only buy Toyotas. Or what about your cell phone services? If you're in area X you can only sign with Sprint, and in area Y, your only option is T-Mobile. What the hell????
We need to allow all providers to fairly compete in the same market for similar products/sevices. This will force providers to price their products appropriately, to be creative/inventive to bring new and better products to their customers, and force them to reach out to customers that are not yet covered (rurals).
