| RCN is the textbook case against a "free market" for comcos With semi-larcenous behavior like this, RCN takes its place as the poster child for radical re-regulation of the communications industry. People like to whine about the specter of oppressive bureaucracy, but there's no government bureaucracy as incompetent and indifferent to customers as RCN and all the rest of the phone/cable/net providers I've ever dealt with.
All deregulation/nonregulation has done is make the US a third world country when it comes to communications services. It's way past time to force providers to finally provide those communications and that service. |

Washington, DC | Regulated monopolies never had good service either.
The real problem is insufficient competition much of anywhere. |
