said by woody7 : If the telcos/cablecos aren't offering, just get the f#$k out of the way. Why should they when they can just as easily:
(1) Buy a politician (2) Sponsor astroturf groups to generate FUD (3) Convince clueless consumers that the apocalypse is nigh if ISPs (a) don't get to do whatever they want whenever they want and/or (b) get to crush municipal broadband.
These billion dollar corps didn't get that way by playing by the rules. First rule of thumb in any government regulated monopoly/duopoly is to buy yourself an opportunistic politico masquerading as a man of and for the people. -- The Toll
