Re: Yeah, if you want to rewire....
This isn't about CLEC sharing, it's about ISPs accessing the existing cable modem transport. There is no rewiring involved, it's a logical connection much like an ATM PVC is used to choose which ISP your DSL line is connected to over say Covad's or SBC/ASI's last-mile DSL service. Technically it's not a problem to implement ISP choice. |

1 edit | ...And we expect Cable companies to invest in DOCSIS 2.0 ??? Only to have to share it at wholesale rates??? There is a basic flaw in imposed line-sharing. Our form of government lacks the final Fascist or Communist force needed to make it work. Assuming we prefer Free Market Capitalism and the innovations thereof -- then line sharing is simply out-of-touch with market realities (witness UNE changes and Verizon's FTTP deployment).
Now, if the taxpayers are serious -- we should be providing infrastructure -- which to share among competitors. Taxpayer's seldom choose to "put their money where their mouth is" though. |

Oh so true. Such as folks don't want their tech support shipped overseas but don't complain when their prices get cut and half at the same time.

I know it isn't about CLEC sharing - it was only a parallel that I was trying to bring up.  |

well jobs are being cut as the jobs are moved, so in the end you need to pay more taxes to help fund the people that lost their jobs due to outsourcing through the unemployment system, in the end you loose.
stop reading the "outsourcing is good" bs that whoever is feeding you, outsourcing is a short term solution next your going to be complaining that your job was outsourced to india because they will work more hours for less money then you. |

Who out-sources then lowers their price? Outsourcing is done to increase profits. |
