Re: Customers, not just investors have problems with higher cost I don't like the idea of giving Verizon and AT&T any more money, but in this age of centrist Democrats and wing-nut Republicans, it's a compromise to speed up FTTH adoption. Once the fiber's been built out you can start worrying about regulating the monopolies. |

| I disagree, if you take care of the competition problem, the speed problem will take care of itself. Why? Well, if there's enough competition, companies that don't keep up will get left behind. Right now, there isn't much competition, so these companies don't really have to keep up with anybody! We can probably debate all the live long day on how to encourage competition, but in reality this would create better speeds. |

| Maybe you should ask car makers, cell phone makers, computer makers, or any body else in an industry that has healthy competition! Its not truly healthy competition if its so easy to get to a point where there are only 1 or 2 companies... |
