Re: Isps Build your Own! said by Jodokast96:Somehow the electric companies made it work. How so? I don't have a choice in electrical companies.
The answer is competition between wireless (3G/4G, WISP, WiMax, etc.), telecom, cable, satellite. You don't need 5 sets of cable hanging of off poles to have competition. And you don't need to share your infrastructure with competitors to facilitate competition. |

kudos:2 | Uh, yeah, in a lot of markets you do. The company producing the energy charges their supply charge and then the local company charges a distribution charge, which is the same no matter the supplier. Even if your local company is your supplier, the bill is broken down the same way. Similar to long distance. |

| Most of the time you don't even know you can pick your electric company like your gas company in most areas. Electric companies stay silent the same as gas companies have been lately. |
