Re: LOL? said by Karl Bode:Yes, clearly this entire, complicated system of dysfunction and everything that has happened is all the fault of the one FCC staffer you don't like for partisan reasons. Agreed. Also maybe the FCC should be the socialist do-good agency. I mean, obviously the pure vaunted capitalistic ideals aren't happening. There isn't true competition when the major carriers almost do everything together lock step...of course I'm mainly referring to wireless with that particular statement. With broadband...you got cable and "MAYBE" good DSL. That leaves a lot of people with only one decent broadband provider and even then....the prices show the lack of competition. While I'm for "free market" in theory....in practice...its not working. There isn't enough true competition to keep greed in check. Greed is out of control allowing the kind of behaviors we are seeing.
I do realize that for capitalism and free market to work properly, greed is needed. However, it needs to be kept in check to keep from corporations from running amok along with our so called govt. All that is happening is the consumers are being screwed every which way from Sunday and the corporations and politicians are sitting pretty. Its total BS. |
