Re: Build your own network if you're unhappy... "Barriers to entry don't constitute any obligation owed to you."
I don't know why you are accusing me of making such an argument. That isn't my argument.
"There are multiple suppliers in areas where sufficient profit motive is offered"
Again you ignore the way things like network effects and first mover advantage drastically alters the economic calculations for those wishing to enter the market after the first mover is established and impose a quite different set of costs on those trying to compete with the dominant player.
Is "sufficient profit" something that is probable or even possible or is it something absurd?
Of course any barriers can be overcome by an extreme enough set of circumstances(such as if everyone was willing to pay a million dollars a month for an internet connection) but that doesn't mean such things will happen with any set of probable real world parameters. |
