said by WhatNow:The biggest problem is most people only want to hear about the fight on the News. If they go into depth on issues they switch channel. Take the Health Care Bill just passed there was very little about what might be in the bill but most of the reports were about the fighting between the two parties.
When telephones first started there was open competition and the public got tired of every company running their own separate line. Look at the airline industry only one company may be making a profit. To much competition is good in the beginning but if no one is making money the infrastructure is not upgraded. Was the dot com successful for infrastructure? NO only about 1 company survived because most found it was harder and more expensive to build then it looks on paper.
For all those that are gung ho for net neutrality can the government come make you rent that spare bedroom at a set price. I have seen the Bells cut back on doing anything extra because they were being made to share under cost anything extra. That is one reason DSL hit 3 to 6 Meg and just stopped. More companies beget more CEOs and upper management not more technicians.
I don't know what you're trying to say. The lack of competition is directly related to the gutting of the 1996 Telecom Act by Republican FCC commissioners, Congress, and telecoms in court.
