1 edit | The regulators should scotch this deal. Frontier is known to be one of the ILECs which is the most hostile to all competition — be it from wireless ISPs or cellular carriers or cable operators. It has, in particular, been known to gouge them on backhaul — AKA “special access.” The government should not regulate broadband, but it should step in to prevent anticompetitive behavior. If Frontier takes over these areas, competitors' bandwidth costs will be astronomical and there will be no competition. Frontier must not be allowed to snuff out broadband or wireless competition via anti-competitive tactics, as it has done to date. Therefore, it should not be allowed to take over these regions from Verizon. |

Banks, OR | said by SuperWISP:The government should not regulate broadband, but it should step in to prevent anticompetitive behavior. Uh, "stepping in to prevent anticompetitive behavior" is called "regulation", dude.
You mean government should regulate in ways that you consider favorable to you, and not regulate in ways that doesn't give you any economic gain. |
