Re: The basic flaw... And thus the need (IMNSHO) to separate out the cost of maintaining the last-mile network (which ought to be run and regulated as a public utility) and the cost of delivering services over that network.
Set up a municipal fiber network, but let Comcast, Qwest, AT&T, Cox, whoever sell TV channels, On Demand, Internet connectivity, phone service, whatever, over that network. Ideally you make it so you can buy services from several different parties...maybe cut out the middlemen altogether.
It's basically like unbundled local loops updated for the fiber age.
