least bitter taste.. of competition..take your pick:
open access
or
third wire infrastructure
though, keep in mind, open access will apply equally to cable as well as telco... so cable companies would have to open their networks to voip carriers and the like.. if i were the incumbents.. letting a new carrier build would be the better option.. it will take decades to get established & have effective competition, whereas the open access can bleed revenue off right away.
Afterall, why should voip/digital phone cost $35-55 from a cableco or telco when 3rd party voip carriers have it for $10-$25 a month? Google voice is also giving it away for free... (as of now) |
