The problem is that in many of these areas, the Cable Providers were provided a monopoly in order to get them to build out their services universally. In almost every city, there are tons of profitable opportunities to provide competition, but at the same time, a good portion of the city is not economical to provide services to - and the only reason they get Comcast (or whoever is providing them service) is that they were legally obliged to, in order to get access to the profitable areas.
Is it fair to the people who provide universal service that they would have to compete with companies are aren't required to do so?
