Regional Bells Blocking Broadband Competition

Posted by timothy on from the doing-their-best-at-any-rate dept.

Tim Doran writes "USA Today has a story today describing regulatory moves by the regional Bell companies meant to stifle competition in broadband. Of course, nobody plays the regulators like the ILECs, and they're using their massive fiber builds as leverage against the regulators. They're even running interference on municipalities who are trying to build their own fiber networks!"

    How about unadulterated violence? Sure it would take many airplanes crashing into Super Centers all across the country to realistically bring down WalMart. I even think many people would be happy about that, myself included.
