Re: No help for rural broadband said by hoyleysox:Line sharing is a disincentive for telco's to deploy BB tech in rural areas because of an uncertain ROI. uncertain *direct* roi (i.e. from subscribers on direct plans). however, i would *tend* to think that if a group of people show interest in forming an isp in a rural area that the incumbents (with deep pocketbooks) could deploy infrastructure on a guarantee of service commitment from the rural isps.
this nets the incumbents steady income to subsidise the cost of deployment, sheltering them against the "worry of roi" and places the control of the network in the hands of the people who know the community the best - the rural isp.
it seems like it could actually *bolster* growth of rural broadband, in a perfect world.
