Re: Plenty of BB competition - Martin is right
Exactly. As Alfred Kahn* pointed out, "Deregulation does not mean that you fire the policeman."
Additionally, it's good to recognize that not only Republicans cozy up to the incumbent monopolists. Reed Hundt had a fabulous vision for a competitive telco world, so good that the ILECs convinced Bill Clinton to force him out and replace him with William Kennard, who really enjoyed taking years to address anticompetitive conduct.
