 | Think if MA Bell were still around If MA bell were still around and we had a REGULATED monopoly we would probably have FTTH by now. A regulated monopoly works much better than an unregulated tri-opoly (Qwest, Verizon, AT&T) combined with CLEC's. With a monopoly all that would need to happen is the government say "you deploy ftth to every home over the next 5 years or face massive fines". Guess what happens in 5 years? FTTH gets deployed. At times I miss MA Bell because at least we got all the latest and greatest things all at the same time. None of this cherry picking crap. |
