Wait a second, every single negative you've described here can also be applied to other utilities who have been regulated under title II for as long as it's existed. They've yet to find a way to 'regulate' human decency and good customer service...
- lightbritefight 12y agoAdding viable competitors is how. Title 2 will make it so other companies have a chance to exist on the government sponsored lines. Once Comcast sees its lifeblood spilling into the streets, Im betting their CS will be as sweet as pecan pie.
- skuhn 12y agoTitle II regulation will not necessarily open up the copper wiring to your house to competitors. The FCC is expected to forebear a lot of the Title II rules, and that may well be one of them.
- briandear 12y agoBut what's the incentive? How many people want to start water companies? If it's highly regulated the margins will also disappear. It turns it into a commodity. It isn't like you can do any real innovation.
- rhino369 12y agoTitle II can't force Comcast to share their lines. It can only force ILEC's to share their lines. So Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, and Frontier could be forced to unbundle. But Comcast can't be.
- wtallis 12y agoCan't Comcast be treated as a comparable carrier under section 251(h)(2) and thus also qualify as an ILEC?
