Re: When will we get real broadband at prices we can afford? Could you elaborate on that more? Like do you mean comcast verizon and tw could all offer tv over said FTTH and the costumer could choose which one has the best package(s) for them, same with ISPs and VoIP companies? |

 | I don't know if he meant FTTH, or the idea of splitting the nations telecom infrastructure in 2 that some one suggested yesterday in here. One would be a physical plant possibly owned by gov which would in turn lease the lines to competitors giving everyone the same footing. There are numerous conflicting laws and practices that would have to be addressed as well laws intervening into private property. However, I think it's becoming apparent to many that the status quo is rapidly becoming unacceptable. Any dialogue in this respect is good because now it seems these stories are becomming mainstream, not just here at BBR -- BF69~~~Please stop suffocating gerbils! |
