Re: how 'bout busting a myth rant?
said by Primis1  :Get over it and grow up. Either that or get out there and deploy without going deep into the red, since you're /obviously/ the expert here and have *all* the answers. I will bow to your superior knowledge and intellect as soon as you explain to me why New York, Los Angeles, or any number of big, DENSE cities in the U.S. don't have broadband on par with the leaders in the world.
The fact of the matter is the U.S. is hampered by the monopoly conditions that the government has allowed to develop in this industry. There is no effective, widespread competition in this country and there won't be on the wired side unless the government steps up. Consumers only hope in the near future is muni-fiber/wireless and wireless in general that can bridge the monoploy controlled last mile.
Unless and until something happens to promote REAL competition, the U.S. will not be among the leaders in the world in this area.
In another year or so, China will have more total broadband subscribers than the U.S. and we will lose the lead in the one area where we have it. | |
