Re: Clec's (agree with everything in your first paragraph)
I personally hate the idea of government control -- but how do we make internet / cable / phone a competition? |

| How? The government provides one network that can reach every business and user that is managed by only a few (2-4) not-for-profit privately owned companies that are not allowed to provide content on the network or offer incentives for "special tubes" of any kind for those that want to provide content. Their only job is to transparently pass packets and manage/upgrade the network as needed. They are paid by regulated lease fees from any business that wants to serve the consumer at the other end being it serves as an ISP, phone, TV or what have you.
This of course is my personal opinion. |

| This is by far my favorite solution to the last-mile problem.
I've been saying that this is the way we need to go for a long time. Unfortunately, Washington would have to ignore their Telecom and Cable lobby groups to actually get it passed. The chances of that happening are very low. |
