Why doesn't Verizon just buy Comcast, or vice versa, and problem solved? It's only a matter of time. |

Well, folks like QWEST and COMCAST have bought state level politicians to pass laws preventing the people from creating local level networks. Hollywood and their cousins have paid lots of money to various politicians for various things like copyrights that now outlive the writer and their descendants (not that the bulk of the copyright money goes to them).
There are many more items and it is not just areas like Chicago, New York and New Orleans now..
Maybe that is why?

Do I misunderstand, or are you saying there's no connection between money, politics, and regulatory decisions? |

in NJ, Verizon got a law passed that bypassed local negotiations and allowed them to cherry pick the state as they wished. Oh, they tossed in a couple 'middle-lower' income neighborhoods but most of the 'poorer' and by that I mean below $50K will be YEARS before FIOS comes in, and that's in the most heavily populated region of the US.
