Re: If DirecTV can lock up NFL Sunday Ticket; turnaround fair I'll agree to Verizon sharing their fiber when the cable companies are required to share their HFC network and the satellite companies have to share their satellite capacity.
You are comparing two totally different things. Furthermore, if you look at things the way you stated then the cable companies are even worse than Verizon, because not only are they witholding content, they ALSO DO NOT SHARE THEIR NETWORK. Moreover cable essentially uses the same rights of way and easements as Verizon as both companies typically hang their wires on the same poles and bury their lines on public property, etc.
Basically your making a poor comparison. |
