:Pure and simple.... but in today's climate, it's not like content providers can tell certain backbone providers to get lost, and it's not like consumers can "walk" on the Telcos or Cablecos (sure they can... once... maybe twice... then they're done)
So your model folds up at this point.
Content providers can walk or stop. Everyone has a choice. Through technology and/or need, competition will then develop as other delivery methods are created. Government intervention only serves to stifle this type of growth and development as it did with the break up of the Telcos.
