Re: Only one way to fix this.
We need the government to step in and take control. Although it isn't how we normally do things, I think the world has proven that this is the better way. All the fastest countries have the government controlling the Internet. And its not always to the point where they set the price and everything, its just making rules that encourage more competition and upgrades. |

| How about no government regulation and no right of ways. I could get fiber ran to my healthcare clinic from a cable provider and would pay handsomely to do so but no, right of ways exist with local city coucil. Government regulation is the killer of buisness. People think that america is a free market but in reality it is no where near even close to being so. FCC, SEC, FDA, FTC, so on and so forth, government is regulating everything to death, all these regulations and taxes add up to serious expenses for buisnesses that add to your bill. Free market my butt, tell that to the right of way city governments that regulate your internet connection based upon who they say can come to your premise. Once high speed (20+mbps)wireless comes to fruition, these wireline providers are screwed and so be it, I will be glad. No more right of ways. |

| Stop worrying about how he posted and simply respond to his post with something to reply with. As has been said in the past, EVERYONE is anonymous here. Would it make a difference if he used that same name, only registered?
Sorry to say, he had MUCH more to say than you did. |

Hi-speed wireless is dieing everywhere. You live in a dream world.
Do you know why we have the greatest hiway system in the world? Your government provides it for you.
While government may not be the answer in a competitive market, broadband is not a competitive market. This is straight out of economics 101. Unregulated markets ONLY work where there is a perfect economy. And perfect economies do not exist.
Dream on if you think there is ever going to be a wireless market. Wireline providers are not going to allow it. They own the backbone.
Categorically stating government regulations kill business is about as naive as you can get. It would be wonderful if we did not have to have them but it is not reality.
And of gourse seeing this post come from a heath care clinic, the biggest rip off of consumers that ever was, I can see your disdain of regulations. |
