Re: Laws did what they were supposed to - give more competition

said by Romney2012:

These state laws did what they purported to do - make competition available sooner by streamlining the franchise approval process. ...
having one cable company and one telco to choose from doesn't seem to be living up to the idea of "competition". it certainly doesn't seem to bring the benefits of competition - lower prices, better selection, etc.

mostly the laws appear to do what Karl pointed out:result in fewer legal obligations on the carriers and less protection for consumers.

real competition as a result of these franchise changes appears to be a pipe dream or at best, something that might happen in the future.

I'd change that word consumers to "local graft seeking politicians" and then I'd agree.

Of course you'd be wrong, but hey, as long as you're happy living in the Land of Denial.
