Re: dont want regulation, DO want cooperation
Time Warner Cable- A Time Warner Company was forced nation wide by the FCC and the FTC to open up their high speed data networks. Then when they did Earthlink.net and AOL and other providers.
So the open ISP thing is a bad thing cause if you have problems you are bounced around between Time Warner and your provider. Then if you have earthlink.net like me they wanna send you to the National Call Center for RoadRunner in CANADA! not to your cable office's call center!
And it gets to be a pain! I hate the pinball machine thing TWC has set up for their high speed customers that chose someone else besides RoadRunner. |

I think if the FCC used regulation as a threat to push more openness that would be the best scenario. I don't want to get taxed on a regulated cable system, but I would like to see cable companies partner up or offer ISP choices cause their existing services SUCK! If I could divert $10 of my cable bill to go towards MSN or Earthlink for ISP services instead of Cox I would LEAP at the opportunity.
Cable internet service is already bad enough. do people really want to add that layer of fingerpointing that DSL currently has? (Anyone thats had an issue with their MSN isp over their Qwest line would know how frustrating the 'DSL/ISP pinball machine' can be)
