Re: Here comes the flood? Not a bad idea, but then, where I live, utilities are regulated industries, with fairly heavy government involvement. The last time Duke Power wanted a rate increase, it took them almost 3 months to make the change. Since what you recommend is that they are treated like a utility, I wouldn't have any problems, as long as they are treated like a utility in all respects. Whenever TIme-Warner want's to up my bill, they can go before the Utilities commission, make their case, and then pray they don't get turned down. They can also be forced to build out additional bandwidth, meet service level minimums, and deal with all that headache, not to mention loss of their common carrier status. Sounds good to me, government forced net-neutrality.  |
