said by inteller  :Why dont these companies go under? Because in most places it is either Internet service with this company or you're stuck on dial-up.
The Bells and CableCos try to kill off municipalities because there is "competition" and say stuff like "private companies can do things better" and whatever capitalist rhetoric they can think of at the time. The 'free-market' theories that are thrown up by the Heartland Institute and the like stipulate that these kind of companies will go under. Competition is usually defined by the Bells and CableCos as two different selections in the same market. There's definitely a higher chance of collusion when there are less players on the field. The anti-muni stuff is an example of collusion.
The Bells don't really like VoIP. Unless, of course, they are providing it. The CableCos are hyping triple-quad-whatever play so they are doing their own little thing. It really is a nice way to kill off Vonage.
