said by baineschile:I generally take the stance that government should NOT provide broadband, but that doesnt mean necessarily defending the status quo. I believe there should be less regulations if a private business wants to build a network in a city, but the government can essentially sell at cost, which means they can undercut any line of business they choose to get involved in.
Look. Get this through your head. No financially sane corporation will overbuild a private network where there is already a competitor. The barrier of entry to infrastructure-heavy industries is too high to warrant fighting against an incumbent.
