We need a separate heavily regulated last mile provider(s). Then you will see lots of ISPs offering service to those people over the same lines. At that point we can finally have a true vibrant capitalistic ISP market place.
I agree. Municipal installs like UTOPIA did just that and the large companies assumed they were too good to compete and backed out of those areas. If we could get something like that everywhere in the US it would then force the monopolies to compete with smaller providers or die a slow painful death.
