Nothing is stopping competition now. Government intervention in the marketplace never results in lower prices.



You have no idea what you are talking about

Literally state and local officials are blocking other ISPs from entering certain markets. Or when a city wants to establish their own, the state blocks it. To ensure the ISPs who payed for access don't have competition .

You're advocating for local governments not to be able to determine which companies can access their infrastructure in their cities? Currently local governments can require certain levels of service to do business in their city. You want to do away with that?

Do you think some random company is just going to go around putting down fiber wires in cities where it doesn't exist? Or are you arguing that the companies who do invest in the infrastructure shouldn't be allowed to capitalize on their investment?

What you are saying here would stifle the advancement of fiber networks throughout most of the country. No company will spend that kind of dough just to have a company come in and undercut them immediately.
