tell me again how competition is just going to "POP UP" when a company with nearly unlimited resources is having to fight every step of the way to get their network up.


I keep wondering that myself? Or even weirder, if it's not an issue of collusion between the few big players, why are each of them not available in all big cities?

Is there a city in America that you can choose between Cox, Comcast, Time-Warner, and Charter? if so...where is it? If not, why not?

Because of it was simply as easy as another company rolling in and offering better service, you'd think cable companies would look like this...right? One corner you'd have Comcast, the other Time-Warner...the other Cox, etc.



ETA: So some assclown downvoted my post, but no one provided a city that has access to all the major cable/internet providers. Which city is this?

And I'll ask again...if not even the largest markets in the nation have access to Comcast AND Time-Warner AND Cox AND Charter AND AT&T fiber...why? do these companies not like money? surely, like fast food restaurants, they'd want to go where the customers are and compete for every dollar available...right?

This.

It's almost mind blowing to think that there are people out there who believe that regulation is what is keeping new companies from starting. Or that these telecom companies will actually compete with each other. I guess you can make that argument if you just want to ignore mountains of evidence to the contrary.


I asked 3 times in yesterday's thread for someone to point out, specifically, what about the current regulatory framework harms the consumer, or will begin to harm the consumer if not changed. No one could give an answer.
