said by davidhoffman:We here in Georgia were promised that if we came up with a statewide video franchise law that eliminated municipalities ability to negotiate franchises, that we would get competition, because the only thing standing in the way of speedy deployment of UVerse, was the need to negotiate with each municipality. The law AT&T wanted was put into place 1 January 2008 and we are still waiting for AT&T to show up and compete on a large scale. Luckily we have DishTV and DirecTV to keep some competitive pressure on Cox for video. Cox will eventually deploy DOCSIS 3.0 in Middle Georgia, but there is no great effort as there is no other company that can offer competitive speeds.
The point is that AT&T lied to us about deployment of UVerse, lied to us about wireless network coverage expansion, and lied to us about upgrading and expanding DSL. Why should we believe them about Network Neutrality?
We shouldn't.
