Mcalester, OK | Two options... One is either nationalize the broadband infrastructure, which is the least attractive, or divest the infrastructure operations from the rest of the operations provided by phone and data providers.
Every problem we have today regarding net neutrality and unfair monopolistic practices is facilitated by the fact that infrastructure service providers are also providing services that use this infrastructure. This is becoming the biggest customer abusive racket that has ever come down the pike.
The infrastructure needs to be completely separated from all services that use it. Things are only going to get worse exponentially. This change needs to be legislated and fast. The whole network neutrality issue would immediately go away. The infrastructure could still be provided under a competitive market. Actual ownership would not change so those that invested in the infrastructure would still own it.
This is the only way this issue can be solved in an equitable and completely competitive manner. |
