so the bottom line is....

don't hold your breath waiting for the benefits of competition from fiber or VDSL+, because there won't really be that much competition?

And in 2/3 of cable's coverage area there won't be any competition at all from advanced telco services?

I guess duopolies move slow and monopolies don't move at all.

Go USA! We're #16! We're #16! Go USA!

I wonder if local wimax ISPs some time in the near future will not bring about some change in that? Thoughts?

Clearwire has just started offering wimax service to much of the Seattle metro area. But with a top download speed of 1.5mbit, it's not much of a competitor to the local DSL or cable offerings. It would be attractive if the only alternative was sat-based offerings, but it's not really much of an option to the local duopoly.
