Re: Fastest states least competitive ? said by fAcEtIOUs:said by sonicmerlin:said by fAcEtIOUs:That is an interesting fact, if true & the study is accurate. I guess if I had to choose between a state with fast broadband(but higher prices) and a competitive state with lower speeds and lower prices, I'd choose the less competitive state every time. I would choose the solution that results in getting both the positives and none of the negatives: forced line sharing. That is, the statist big government over-regulate solution. I know you don't believe that. You in fact know that your own statement is not true. Every informed person in the industry without pro-carrier bias openly believes that forced line-sharing is a real solution that leads to real competition wherever it has been enforced.
The best example of line-sharing's effectivenss has always been Free.fr in France, which offers a triple play for $40/month, and simply would not exist without line-sharing.
In fact there was a huge surge in broadband investment and an increase in competitors in the first few years after the '96 Telecom Act. Things have become increasingly bleak ever since the Republican FCC gutted the Act.
You know this better than most. You simply choose to lie about the truth to others. |

| and let's not forget the recent Harvard (that liberal-leaning, commie bastion of progressive thought) study commissioned by the FCC (and promptly ignored after release) that concluded the exact same thing - line-sharing would result in an increase in competition, which is needed because most areas in the U.S. have little or no competition. |
