| Re: Its none of their beezwax This is what it comes down to, whether broadband is a generic product like pop-tarts or rutabagas, in which case it should be left to market forces to develop; or whether it is an essential product, a utility.
I personally have a hard time seeing it as anything other than a utility. In this day and time, data services are as essential to citizens' lives and to the economy as power, water, and POTS, clearly.
Do you think that these other utilities should be or have been deregulated to the extent broadband is? Were this the case, I would suggest that the US economy would never have been able to develop as it has. |
