| Re: Deregulation - Good or Bad? Sounds like both. said by chex: ...and I would be stuck with crappy and slow Verizon PPPOE DSL 768/90 kbps, and I would have NO CHOICE.
Regulation is what gave you the choice on the broadband, buddy. The regulation that states that phone companies have to share their lines with competing DSL providers, etc. is the one to which I refer. The one that they are trying to get removed because cable doesn't have similar regulation.
Without the regulation, you would have NO CHOICE. Better get that Verizon modem warmed up, because if the telcos are successful in their endeavor to get that regulation lifted, you're going to be back on Verizon like it or not.
Still think deregulation is good?  -- DirecPC SRS, Galaxy11 990 Mhz, 4.0.0.40, g/w 205.177.62.72, Win2000 SP2 & Win98 SE. BellSouth DSL coming October 2002, already ordered, can't wait!!! |
