Comcast isn't holding anybody back from innovating. If anything, wireless carriers may break their monopoly suddenly. Google, just like old Microsoft, by a vertical monopoly from OS to applications, is actually already doing harm to competition and innovation. You can feel the tech clock slow down in the last ten years. Imagine what small companies would be doing about security and privacy in search and browsers if Google didn't own that space completely. Imagine what the hordes of rest-and-vest half-working Google Ph.D.'s could be doing if they weren't hoarded by Google because of monopoly money.
- studentrob 7y ago> wireless carriers may break their monopoly suddenly. This sounds like Comcast's argument, which is that there is already sufficient competition due to wireless carriers. The fact is, a fixed line will always be faster. > You can feel the tech clock slow down in the last ten years Sorry, but a lot has happened in the last 10 years, in terms of new languages, frameworks, and software. > Imagine what the hordes of rest-and-vest half-working Google Ph.D.'s could be doing if they weren't hoarded by Google because of monopoly money Are Google employees not free to do as they please now? If anything, they're being funded to go off and start their own companies. They're not enslaved by high salaries, lol. Quite the opposite.
