Re: problem

If there were some real competition Verizon wouldn't be cherry picking nearly so much. They're still making billions of dollars in profit, on top of the billions in subsidies they stole from the government over the last decade. Any competitive marketplace reduces profit among companies to zero, which is ultimately what is best for the consumer.

Zero profit isn't the way to build out infrastructure and it most definitely isn't the way to grow our economy.

If Verizon is cherry-picking, they're doing it in a strange manner. I recently moved into a relatively affluent neighborhood served by Verizon and Cox. No FiOS. I can drive to a neighborhood a few miles away that is considered in a lesser economic status and it's fibered to the hilt. How long did it take AT&T to build out copper infrastructure to every address in this country??? 50 years? 60 years? Now how long has Verizon been deploying their FiOS?
