Not sure which part of this you're not understanding.
The problem is you're expecting logic from a known telco shill.

So, they are building out their own network, on utility easements they are paying for, but that makes them "Losers".

It reminds me of people saying "CLEC's are sponging leeches! They should build their own networks!" and then when they DO build their own networks, they still get slammed.

Face it, Telco shills. You guys just defend the companies like AT&T for some unknown reason. They are wrong to do what they do, and people who defend and support them are as much to blame as they are.

Your comment doesn't apply to AT&T cutting costs by using the asset of another company since it owns rights to the pole.
at&t sharing the pole with the utilities that put it in. Therefore, they should also have to share it with other utilities, even if they ARE competitors. If they won't share it, then they shouldn't be allowed to use it either.

The part which doesn't line up with at&t's agenda, apparently!

There's nothing to understand. AT&T doesn't want to help out its competitors, so it will do whatever it can to screw TVC over.

I am merely suggesting TVC take the seemingly radical approach and run its own infrastructure instead.
So all's fair in war, eh? Then here's a seemingly radical approach: TVC should simply cut at&t's lines and put theirs in it's place to screw at&t over. OH wait, that's probably illegal... So it's legal for at&t to screw over TVC, but not vice versa... or perhaps, it's NOT, which is why the State is now stepping in.... Not like TVC is trying to screw at&t. They merely want to exist, and get the access they are entitled to have.

So you're trying to say that my suggestion of TVC running their own infrastructure is illegal?

If TVC goes under because it did not find some way to bring service to its customers, then it is their fault, not AT&T's.

Nice attempts at dodging. If TVC fails to deploy their network in a timely and cost-efficient manner because AT&T breaks regulations or the laws, then that's AT&T's fault, and they should be righteously smacked down for it.
