Re: Break Broadband Service into Transport and Internet Access.

Isn't that the way Japan does things? And wouldn't the terrorist win if our internet becomes as good as Japan's?

Re: Break Broadband Service into Transport and Internet Access.

In Japan, correct me if I'm wrong, but ISPs do NOT lease capacity from the pipe owners, but instead you personally buy both a pipe and an ISP to provide services over the pipe. So the consumer could theoretically have a choice of both pipe provider and ISP.

Maybe I was thinking about phone lines there, I read that anyone can lease them for ~$2/m wholesale to any residence.
