It's a hard problem, because the market and regulatory frameworks are very different for me, in San Francisco, than for my dad, on the Big Island of Hawai'i, and both in turn are very different from people in Manhattan, or Montana, or in Nome. A national solution might not be workable; but then again, the Federal government is probably the only entity that can treat with companies like Comcast and actually force their hand. I personally think that divestiture of the physical cabling from the content provision business is the ideal solution, but I have no (0) illusions about the likelihood of that ever happening. Whether you chalk that up to regulatory capture or the growing pains of a changing business model at the end of the day really makes no matter.
