Re: U.S. uses resources efficiently with low waste .... said by knightmb:So is this the same as per your example, this is overbuilt with a gigabit of bandwidth when it will never be used but instead of the government forcing this, a private company is? Sounds almost the same as the whole cable a-la-carta problems. In the end, when companies recombine and form much larger companies that control large portions of the needed resources they can then charge whatever they want and people have to pay it in order to use it. That's a major problem today: more and more industries are loosing smaller companies, combining into larger ones, and competition is drying up (they then claim competition is thriving when it's not).

Southfield, MI | I agree. This ties into my previous point about global market dominance vs. local dominance. Consolidations are good for global strength, but bad for local competition. Today's companies are trying to dominate the US market, and working hard to isolate this market from the rest of the world. Today's company desires isolated product competition but global resources.
I don't think that is good for us.
