Re: Open Access only works with price regulation ..... said by sonicmerlin:said by Linklist:.....and the Congress, who pulls Genachowskis and the FCCs strings, isn't ready yet(and may never be) to get in to price regulation of major US industries. Price regulation is a bridge too far. I assume you're referring to wholesale price regulation? YES |

Fiber optic deployment, in the case of Verizon, was specifically and deliberately exempted from any form of line-sharing.
If you were to reverse course, and force them to share their fiber infrastructure, the damages would be in the billions, and you'd have a hard time convincing any other company to take such risks in the future, as investment capital flees. |
