Re: Isps Build your Own!
Other companies and building their own infrastructure is the only way for real competition. In this day and age I don't think it would be as bad as having "50 bagillion wires" hanging. Not anymore. No one is going to build a competing POTS system necessitating huge trunk lines. It would either be some fiber-coax-hybrid or, if they're smart and do it right the first time, all FTTP. all of which can be strung together to look like one wire (or shoved thru conduit like Verizon does)
While some people may complain about the aesthetics of 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 (I doubt you'd get that much competition) companies having their own wires stringing about, it probably wouldn't look any worse than if you live near a CO where a lot of real thick wires branch out.
Admittedly, it would prove much of a challenge where wires are buried. |
