Re: Where are the MBB shills? What's to defend. Better service. Better prices. As for the POS ILECs, I did. I cancelled Verizon and went with Vonage, double the service for 1/2 the price. It's really not that complicated, don't like the MBB...move. You want to pay more...go for it, but don't expect your neighbors to.
And I suppose we should close public schools since private schools have to compete against them. I suppose we should close the USPS because UPS and Fedex have to compete against them. I suppose we should close Amtrak and public transit because auto manufacturers and airlines have to compete against them. I suppose we could cancel PBS and NPR since the private networks have to compete against it.
What logic. Telecom is as equally important as mass transit or mail delivery and the populous shouldn't be left to the anti-competitive consumer raping cable operators and telcos. If private enterprise isn't interested in providing decent service for a good price tough crap if a city or town should elect to deliver their own services.
And it works, as evidenced by sudden increases in service levels and sudden decreases in costs...both benefit the consumer.
