Re: Build your own network if you're unhappy... Actually, I'm not a big fan of heavy handed regulation either.
Personally, I'm a fan of open competition and consumer choice.... However, in industries such as these, with such high barriers to entry, there needs to be government leadership to either 1) Allow competition to break into the market (Such as the 1996 Communication Act was doing before it was attacked, rolled back, and finally killed) or 2) Keeping a watchful eye on the incumbents to make sure they don't get out of hand.
We've got neither ATM.
