I'm not convinced that this is capitalism at its best. The laws in the US have been refined to recognize capitalism in a competitive environment and unchecked capitalism due to a monopoly/oligopoly. TW's actions are driven by its HSI monopoly status rather than an honest plan to continually improve its service. I've often wondered what would happen if the last mile fiber was owned by local governments and ISPs competed at concentrators for each household's services. Since I know the last sentence will never happen, I can only hope that coming and future wireless technologies will hold enough promise to provide multiple competitors to fiber and cable deployments.

My point exactly! Seems to be the common theme among providers. »FrontierNet Internet Access A link to the frontier forums since it was mentioned in the article.

NOCMan Verizon Fios User Premium join:2004-09-30 Flower Mound, TX	reply to rradina I agree. I would support a complete AT&T landline remerge under the condition that they are strictly regulated by the government on capacity they are to support to the consumers homes. They get a portion of taxes and charge the rest to those competing to supply services to those pipes. All this were much larger than x country is a big steaming pile of BS. Fiber has long ago surpassed those problems and just look at Verizon's report. For every 9 callouts for copper plant there is 1 callout for fiber plant. That's 1/10th the cost of maintenance. They dont have to worry about customers having packet loss issues due to waterlogged junctions or anything of the sort. If the government would just let it be built and supported with proper regulation other companies would support it. And think of the jobs that could create.
