Why would a regional monopoly represent capitalism? Google Fiber had to halt their fiber roll-out because of all the red-tape and lawsuits they faced. The more accurate statement would be, this is regulatory capture.
- neogodless 7y agoYou're right - I mean, they don't have a monopoly in delivery of "any" entertainment being delivered to you, which is why I use cable/fiber for internet and nothing more. I know many people feel the need to have live broadcast and choose to continue paying their cable/fiber provider for content. So far they have not added additional fees to my internet bill - only when I subscribe to TV content. So it's somewhat in the hands of consumers to stop paying cable/fiber for TV, within the limits of monopolies on content people feel they need. I'm not blaming capitalism or saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying - we want better options for consumers to win here.
