Re: Karl is right

So tell us, who is going to make that happen? Over the last 100 years for telecom and a few decades for cable why has that not already happened?

Oh that's right... because we are dealing with a "resource" that is monopolistic by nature and that at best has a duopoly in major cities. The incumbents have had control of the transport for decades. They have control of regulation for the most part and are dominant in a field that is impossible for someone to enter into and truly compete with them.

Besides that I as a property owner have absolutely no desire to have multiple "carriers" come in and tear up my yard or string dozens of lines everytime they need to get their services to me or one of my neighbors. There should be one nationwide network, PERIOD. Everyone else should simply be service providers and that includes AT&T and Comcast if that is what they want.
