Re: Not Enough Competiton

said by rfceo :

You need to research what really paid for the phone lines.
The tax breaks that telcos received upon promises of a national high speed network to every home.
The taxes you paid for telephone services.

Yep. The players just want to sweep this under the rug. You've got a bunch of grifters who spent most of the 20th century getting fat and lazy as sanctioned monopolies operating on Rate of Return, and when their easy ride came to an end, they found that cheating was the only way to hang on. Karl's probably written up this part of the story, too.

@comcast.net

not to mention the fact that the telcos wanted NOTHING to do with the INTERNET when it started.
and NOTHING to do with DSL when it was launched.

THE PUT NO R&D into the development of either of these. How much R&D do you think they will do for future advancements.

They have driven a lot of the innovators out of the market.
Looks like we may have to rely on foreign markets for new technology.
