Re: no competition = higher prices

I think what is meant here is that without competition, the baby bells don't have to worry about upgrading your service and they can charge whatever they want for your already crappy service.

I believe that competition brings on innovation. In order for the baby bells to compete, they would have to innovate upgrades to compete with the CLECS.

Sucks for competition. [ ... ] With no other choices price wise, dialup may live on.
How could dialup live on once your ILEC replaces your copper loop with Fiber, upon which no competition is allowed? Hello 'Good old days' of Ma Bell.
