| Doomsday is coming you guys, watch out! All of you who want your Telco monopolies raise your hand.
If any of you actually raised your hand, then those people get shipped off to a community where they have BPL.
All the lucky people at that community will get to have only one company to provide everything, including poor service, federal b.s. taxes, and prices that have not made it cost any less for the utilities.
We need to do away with these monopolies. Not that they are doing a bad job, but because the prices are unpredictable and they are high.
Are we ever going to see an end to the monopolies like Bellsouth? No. Why? Because everytime some technology comes along that threatens them, they start selling it also. Such as internet, cable tv, cellular, and now broadband. And I'd be willing to bet Bellsouth will also sell VoIP service once the $h!t really hits the fan in the long distance industry. There is no relief in sight.
Developing all this new infrastructure is going to cost a fortune. Who do you think is going to pay for that? And you think you're going to get unlimited local and long distance, cable tv, sdsl, water, and power all for $19.95 flat rate? NO!, it's going to cost equal to or more than what we are all currently paying.
And Broadband over power lines will cause a lot of interference to things like radios. I vote no.
