Re: No wonder
Not a conspiracy, its just $$$. Why would any American telco/cableco upgrade the service they offer when they have a lock on local access? They can continue to milk money out of people for sub standard speeds. Maybe if I were a rich greedy cooperate guy I would be okay with robbing people too. Yeah thats right, I called it stealing. If the music/movie industry can make up new definitions, guess I can too.
I guess this is the part where the other crybabies come out and say something like "if you don't like your service pick another, or go back to dial up"
We all still pay for it because we don't have a choice. So they will keep raising the prices for the same services (kind of like oil) until someone steps in. Be it the government or a more reasonable alternative. |

| What I don't understand is why these same companies spend @$$ loads of money on lobbyists to prevent municipalities from creating their own fiber networks while at the same time refusing to bring broadband to the same areas because they've deemed them as having absolutely no profit potential?
It's sort of like saying, "I'm not going to sell you oranges because I wouldn't make enough money, but I'm not going to allow you to buy oranges anywhere else." |
