(in telecom it results in caps, throttling, predatory pricing, less value for the consumer, pitiful innovation) through liberal and conservative administrations and it only gets worse. sooner or later the public will get fed up with the nonsense and begin monopoly reform to allow new upstart competitors in its major cities (the ones that exist today are bottom feeding grubs teetering on the edge of extinction).. forget rural areas.. as no one will touch them with thousands of feet of softwood lumber. if you can't make competition a success in major cities, rural areas are way off the radar.

there were at least two attempts to break and reform the obscene monopolies of the 1980's into something more palatable. canada is way behind in any reasonable reform and they'll suffer for it for years to come.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20276038 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:57:30 EDT
