Re: They are FOLLOWING Rogers in the "New Competitive" Market
If you look at the US market and the Canadian market, there's little difference. In any given geography, there's the telco offering DSL and the cable company offering DOCSIS.
FIOS is only available in select markets, and the goal of the telco is penetration, so they offer sweet deals until they've got the needed penetration, then they'll start laying on the caps and price rises, and you'll be back in the same quagmire again.
The problem is that the difference in size means that the small independent can be smooshed quite easily since they typically have to rely on the telco or cable operator for last mile service, which the telco or cable operator abuse. It makes competition very hard.
