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.

Regulation is bad, it hurts consumers and makes things bad. What don't you understand about that?

Nothing.

It limits the ability for ISPs to make potential profit. Which, you know, is sort of legislating against the ISPs.
