Re: It's all about capitalism-not government regulation-

Are you crazy? Lets talk about the national debt... or hey Social security... wait what about FEMAs response to hurricane Katrina.. that was some seriously awesome customer service. Oh and when are we going to be out of Iraq exactly?

If you think that "the line that runs into your house" is as simple to connect to the internet as connecting two roads with some asphalt, you got another thing coming. There's a reason you see Comcast & Verizon trucks everywhere....

So I guess according to you, "the government" could replace all ISPs, all BGP ASNs, and all edge technologies rolled up into one... while your at it go ahead and roll me one too...

What topic are you reading? Can you stick to the subject, please?

One might reason that you wouldn't see trucks everywhere if the system worked right. ((unfair giggle)) But I also see road re-construction, water and sewer work, sidewalk repairs all ongoing. So your point is, what? That a government can't be a common carrier? They can, and do -- very well.

Nobody wants to be in the last mile carriage business because it is a profitless money drain that everyone needs. That's almost the tell-tale sign of a decent project that's in the public interest.
