Telcom companies are actually given government incentives to provide servies in uncovered areas. Sadly they can also monopolize the way they get some of the incentives by applying for and thus blocking out other competitors from getting the same funds for the same areas. They also manage to tie up the gov't in application processes (or rather the the gov't allows itself to be tied up in these applicaion processes for incentives). It's true these companies would rather continue collecting more money for less services, increasing profits. Dosen't make capitalism so dark a concept. These are unique situations because telecoms get to operate within the framework where they can fight and get cancelled a homebrew ISP project in a community. Spending resources fighting rather than actually building services with their profits. Pretty sad.
