I use Cox. I suppose it's not fair that cable companies have to maintain their own equipment just for there services. Instead they must maintain their own equipment for everybody else to use and make money off of.
Exactly. They laid it, they paid for it. They continue to pay for it. As said yesterday, this will be ruling will be overturned.
When the day comes that someone is *made* to share what is theirs is a sad day indeed. |

| Well since we're talking about what's fair and what isn't; then how can you justify telephone companies having to share their networks with any CLEC that wants acesss?? They own the hard copper lines, but they're forced to give open access so please tell me how that's any different here? Cable companies and upstarts hiding under CLEC status have long since been able to sell phone service cheaper than the owner of the lines, or offer dsl service when they don't own the lines... Similar situation.. In all honesty this decision levels the playing field and if the cable companies don't like it then quit selling internet services/VOiP that clearly fall under telcoms domain...

Interesting.. Isn't that the same argument the RIAA is using for Music Sharing and everyone has a problem with it? |
