You don't need to give the government a monopoly on the last mile, you just need to allow them to compete on it.
As a Swede living in Japan, that system has worked well in both countries. In Japan you have the former telco monopoly NTT with its national flets network and competition in the private au, Sony NURO and various local networks. In Sweden you have many local municipality-owned companies as well as national competition fighting over customers.
It seems like Americans are always see options as black and white. The same thinking is reflected in your politics
- mulmen 6y agoWho owns the wires?
- fomine3 6y agoFor Japan, Flets (NTT) service is top and widest area FTTH service and it runs on NTT's own fiber. au Hikari (KDDI) is 2nd major service and it uses KDDI's own fiber and partially NTT's dark fiber. Nuro (So-net) is relatively small provider (due to limited area) it uses mainly NTT's dark fiber and AFAIK no own fiber. Other players like eo (K-opticom) are mainly by power company and area is limited.
