:I'm a bit surprised at how much people don't want any competition at all. Yes, it'd be great if all new deals were perfect. It'd be even better if stupid franchise laws did not limit people to one or two local providers, hand picked for agreeing to carry local public channel or promising a build-out "everywhere".
I think if people are unhappy with current options, give a competition a chance as soon as possible, then think about extra rules upon renewal, as carrier would be more willing to cooperate with having some profitable customers they could potentially loose.
I tend to agree with that. I find it amazing that people today can be of the "if I cant get it, then nobody else can either" mindset. Sure, in a perfect world (for consumers at least) everyone would have access to 20 different providers. In reality however (and in business), if
some people have choices thats better than
no people having them. I dont know if people are being selfish or if they are just socialism fanboys, but the insanity needs to stop. Having FIOS available to more areas is a good thing, no matter how you look at it. I just wish this website didnt always put such a negative spin on what really is a win for consumers.
well said.
