The two are not competition

Cell data after 15-20GB gets degraded big time.

we've been over this. You don't know what the word competition means.

I posted a thread on this subject. You ignored it. I can't force you to learn economics man

Did those events get resolved with market forces and existing regulatory control?

Yes or no.


Across the board?

No.

Why are you afraid to post under your actual username?

LOL

There it is. The sum total of the liberal understanding of monopolies. As expressed not from there study of economics but from their freshman level history class.

If you really want to get into a discussion of the regulation of natural monopolies, we can do that. What’s your background on regulation of oil & gas pipelines at FERC? Power there also?

The exaggerated fears here seem to be driving the issue.

I fear the internet being regulated as a utility faaaar more than I do losing so called net neutrality.

Any inferior service with limitations is not competition for a fixed solution.

No one moves into their new home and says let me make sure the LTE service can handle my family needs to stream, game, smart home and maybe run a server.

The NN law is trying to be repealed. Guess what though, the same results can be achieved without Title 2 re-classification. That isn't a deflection, that is just a fact.


While I can get behind this, there is no push at ALL for it from the people who are removing Title 2 classification.

They blantantly are saying that the past provisions, which some ISPs have already won cases based on technicalities that they do not apply, are all we need.

Even though they don't apply anymore as far as NN goes.

Wut?

1) Not a liberal.

2) You didn’t make a point as to why Standard Oil conspiring with other refiners to restrain the free market of oil doesn’t show the limitations of the classic definition of monopoly.

Yep. But these people seem to exist in a vacuum completely insulated from all other economic experience

He and Centinel steadfastly pretending that the classic definition of a monopoly is the end-all-be-all of restraining the free markets is hilarious.

They just flat out are winging it as they go it seems.

Centinel tried for hours on end to claim they aren’t natural monopolies or defacto monopolies in many regions because you can get 100 dollar 90 gig a month capped satellite plans to many homes. Or niche ISP’s that often piggyback off the bigger boys at higher rates to fit niches in markets.

Which is the equivalent of saying entergy isn’t a natural monopoly or regional monopoly because you can install solar panels or use heating oil for your home. So therefore regulations that state entergy can’t discriminate usage for opportunistic reasons are unnecessary since there are alternatives.

It’s bankrupt logic that shows both an ignorance of basic economic terms and processes, and falls apart under even the mildest of scrutiny.

We cut the cord

Easily avg around a TB.

We don't do anything extreme.

Since I have a data cap I cant run my own server like I used too when living in England.

You didn't answer my question. Is there more than one utility that operates transmission lines to your house?

It's not the power, it's the access to the specific type of generated power.

it's not the packets, it's the access to the packets from all over the globe.

Listen, you obviously can't comprehend what I'm saying. Just admit it. It's ok.

Why? ISPs aren't natural monopolies.

Jesus christ you are an idiot. I never once said it was the law. If it were the law, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I asked why it was good to re-classify broadband as a utility. You replied with it was necessary for the FCC to be able to regulate. The alternative I provided was a proposal that proved that re-classification was not needed to grant the FCC authority to regulate, making re-classification completely unnecessary and thus that part of the current NN law unnecessary.

How hard is it for you to get that through your skull?
