Re: Telcos lay down lines....
I suppose one could argue that it was "semi-public" money that placed the majority of the existing cables and poles since they were done during the days of big time monopoly. However, ALL of the DSL based infrastructure (DSLAMs, NGDLC RTs, fiber, etc) has been placed during the days of competition. There is no public money involved so there should be no requirement to share that equipment. And of course there is that great misnomer called competition anyway. How can it be called competition when NO ONE wants to build their own network? All any of them want to do is mooch off the incumbents. Let the incumbents design it, let the incumbents build it, let the incumbents maintain it, let the incumbents provision it but let me use it for some ridiculously low cost so I can slap my name on the bill. |
