Camino, CA | No irony here Giving millions to these companies may not make sense anyway, given most of them have no real interest in rural deployment, and in many cases have already spent millions on lobbying efforts geared toward banning towns and cities from wiring themselves when major ISPs wouldn't (surely somebody somewhere sees the irony here).It may seem ironic, but it isn't if viewed from the proper perspective. The big telcos see these areas as their proprietary service territories/franchises and don't want anyone else offering service within them even if they opt not to do so. It's called monopolistic market conduct. |
