Re: Poppycock

Competition is already allowed in most states, towns, cities, and counties.

The problem is, there already exists the incumbents.

So who is going to spend their money to come in, build CO's and headends of their own, run their own new fiber and copper infrastructure, just to get a handful of the customers that are willing to switch?

So in a couple of years, they'll find it unprofitable, and sell off their assets to the incumbent that wants it.

There is a reason that it usually comes down to just 2 providers in any given area. And that reason is money.

If there is no money to be made by coming in as the 3rd provider. Why would anyone do it?
