Re: are resellers really competition?

I still don't consider "resellers" to be competition.
The "last mile" needs sharing - otherwise any competing carrier would have to run wire directly to the premises. I already have six power wires, two telco, and one cablevision strung up on poles in front of my house. I do not want more.

It's not true competition but it is better than none at all. Maybe the "last mile" should be owned and operated by something other than the phone & cable companies. City-owned networking, anyone?

Re: are resellers really competition?

don't forget the political structures and government types in europe are vastly different from the USA. european countries tend to have socialized governments in which many services are owned/heavily subsidized/invested in by the government. this is not the case in the USA.
