What competition?

• gojomo 13y ago
  20 years ago, no one had any broadband options. Now, most places have at least 2 wired options, plus 2 or more increasingly-competitive wireless options. Policy on spectrum and wires should aim to increase those options, not dictate the technical workings of ISPs, or limit the contractual design-space of private companies. If abuse materializes, so will opportunity. There's a glut of capital to build more paths - towers, blimps, drones, fiber loops - if there's profit to be made and no local or federal barriers to new models.

    If what you say is true, then no one should be upset at the impending Comcast/Time Warner merger.
