re: Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition

Problem is that it's VERY hard if not impossible to be an upstart in the first place. Do you realize the cost to run your own wire on the existing pole infrastructure? Google tried it and even they gave up because Comcast et al kept suing them in every locality they tried to run fiber.

Does the end of net neutrality also mean the end to sweetheart local deals with the big MSO's like Comcast/Verizon? I somehow doubt it. Until that happens the consumer has very little choice for wired Internet (which is still superior to wireless of any kind).
