You live in a dream world.

Do you know why we have the greatest hiway system in the world? Your government provides it for you.

While government may not be the answer in a competitive market, broadband is not a competitive market. This is straight out of economics 101. Unregulated markets ONLY work where there is a perfect economy. And perfect economies do not exist.

Dream on if you think there is ever going to be a wireless market. Wireline providers are not going to allow it. They own the backbone.

Categorically stating government regulations kill business is about as naive as you can get. It would be wonderful if we did not have to have them but it is not reality.

And of gourse seeing this post come from a heath care clinic, the biggest rip off of consumers that ever was, I can see your disdain of regulations.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20994769 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:18:21 EDT Re: Only one way to fix this. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20994004 KrK : Course, if it was truly a free market, he wouldn't be able to get service anyway, either, as what he needs wouldn't be economically feasible.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20994004 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:38:29 EDT Re: Only one way to fix this. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20993283 fiberguy : Stop worrying about how he posted and simply respond to his post with something to reply with.

I could get fiber ran to my healthcare clinic from a cable provider and would pay handsomely to do so but no, right of ways exist with local city coucil. Government regulation is the killer of buisness. People think that america is a free market but in reality it is no where near even close to being so. FCC, SEC, FDA, FTC, so on and so forth, government is regulating everything to death, all these regulations and taxes add up to serious expenses for buisnesses that add to your bill. Free market my butt, tell that to the right of way city governments that regulate your internet connection based upon who they say can come to your premise. Once high speed (20+mbps)wireless comes to fruition, these wireline providers are screwed and so be it, I will be glad. No more right of ways.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20992023 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:49:29 EDT Re: Only one way to fix this. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20991269 DaveNJ :

So far their efforts at encouraging broadband compition has really paid off. Why change what's obviously working...
Well the high taxes in cities certainly isnt helping business. Philadelphia is example number one, all the business in Philly are outside the city. Give tax incentives to business that deploy faster. Rather then forking money into bureaucrats pockets.

Its for government to inspirer competition and with competition comes more and more.

Although it isn't how we normally do things, I think the world has proven that this is the better way. All the fastest countries have the government controlling the Internet. And its not always to the point where they set the price and everything, its just making rules that encourage more competition and upgrades. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20991127 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:00:57 EDT Only one way to fix this. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20991075 bjbrock : Government regulations. Everybody that cries about too much government regulation does not understand how an economy with no competition works. And there is no competition in the broadband market place.

If you want an open Internet then it is going to require the government to regulate the industry. If you don't want the government to regulate than shut up and live with the caps.

This is a very simple issue.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20991075 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:53:36 EDT
