Re: Much ado about Nothing

A free market solves nothing. We've seen that time and time again. I'd be all for a totally deregulated market if companies weren't granted monopolies and allowed to continue unchecked in blatantly anti-competitive practices.

Telecommunications is one of the few markets where we need MORE regulation, or at least a branch of government with the power to enforce current regulations (and have those regulations written into law, unlike the FCC's 'rules').

A fundament flaw is the Orwellian use of competition. Completion will allow other to install wire to the premises rather than forcing redistribution of bandwidth to companies who did build the physical network. I think of the Brand X / EarthLink case. IF we want true competition then do way with local franchising and force government to grant easements to any company who want run copper or fiber networks.

I thought that was the case already. No?
