| current method failed Current method has failed to really offer any competition.. I say lets do this! Just two providers selling their product, and cherry picking hasn't really worked out too well for the consumer. I mean ATT here would still make money off of dsl lines being sold through another provider.. I mean heck, where do you think they are leasing it through? Bubba and his two cans? We don't need telecommunications being throttled by greedy companies holding this country back any longer..
Did you folks know that the roads you drive on used to be maintained by private companies? You had to pay fees to use them all the time.. I mean any road anywhere... i'm aware of toll roads and imo those should be banned.. But you see what I mean.. The open roads, more tend to use, and they avoid the toll roads at all cost.. We still pay tax's at the pump.. Even the hybrid drivers.. |

Which is why it won't see the light of day
Teleco's will continue getting their way with the big guns |

Re: current method failed The roadway system analogy and taxing fuel to support it lends itself well to metered billing for broadband too. Oh wait.....we don't want that.
If we really want Internet access everywhere regardless of location and ROI, put the regulated telephone monopoly back together. Oh wait.....we don't really want to do that either.
Instead, we'd rather hang our hat on forcing open access to aging infrastructure that the infrastructure owners will likely be even less willing to upgrade given this new found "competition". I don't believe open access is the savior that some believe it to be. |

Yes, and do you know that some main roads are still controlled by private companies and that toll roads are a way of life on the East coast's interstate system? It's very irritating to drive there. It should be outlawed.
...and I agree that the current method has failed to offer any real competition through out the US. In SoCal, there are companies such as mminternet, linkline, DSLExtreme that seem to be doing okay. Maybe the rest of the country should follow suit. |
