I want to wake up one morning and read that at&t and Comcast have gone bankrupt.
And exactly how will that get you broadband you can afford?
If there was a real competitor to cable and telephone neither at&t or Comcast could get away with the price that they charge. Those fat profits that they are hording now would disappear.

Imagine 100mbps for $25 instead of $155!!!!
But that doesn't answer the question on how AT&T & Comcast going bankrupt will bring more competition.

It might for a short time. Some local competitors which have been strongarmed by AT&T / Comcast may be able to provide profitable services once those entities are gone.

More likely than not, however, they would also begin raising prices at an abnormal rate, once they've settled into their role as the primary game in town.

Meet the new boss.
