The problem with that for cable systems is that you don't have a private circuit. You and all your neighbors are sharing a circuit. So I'm not sure how you'd lease that a house by house basis.
Telecoms have individual circuits going to each house that can be leased. The problem is that the majority of those need massive upgrades to go beyond adsl speeds.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
- Symbiote 10y agoThere must be something individual to each customer on cable, otherwise Internet access wouldn't work. In the proposed system, either the government would pay for the upgrade to ADSL, or the network operator would recoup the investment through the access fees. (Probably both, depending on the area's expected ROI.)
