Re: One Question:
Yes, the government does give me tax breaks. Just like Wally World. My point is: why should they share lines they built with their own money, monopoly or no?
If you're right, why doesn't the power company have to share its lines?
The inevitable is coming: ILECs will NOT have to share its lines unless it wants to. |

Simple, The Government did not give your tax breaks for your sotre the government did not give you money to put your store all over atlanta.
Teleco got alot of money over the years in tax breaks and incentives to wire this country end to end. Cable had no such break or incentive hence why cable is not being force to share. Now Verizon seems to be very open minded to the whole deal of whole sale and the company that I am with now for dsl is also authorized to sell fios over there own network.
You might had a point if the government force to lease an isle out to me and I sold the same products on that isle for half of what you are sellign them for but that is not the case.
The circuit (isle in your scenario) is paid for full retail price plus 10%
My circut charge from Internet junction is almost the same as what Verizon circut charge is about 2 dollars more. But where I save money is that Ij offers business class service for a fraction of the price. 69.99 sith 5 static ips vs verizion 100.00 for 5 static plus a damn usf fee.
All the government is doing is making the telecos play fair on government paid for lines. |
