Re: It's simple folks...

I absolutely agree. Muni deployments probably shouldn't go beyond infrastructure. Rent the lines at a cost, each provider able to negotiate their own rates.

Either that or force the ILECs to divest their infrastructure into completely separate entities. Local monoplies who control both the lines and the service are a recipe for the lack of innovation and deployment we're already experiencing.

Eminent Domain is a terrible concept, IMO. But maybe for once it could be used in a good way - to force ILECs and cable companies to sell their infrastructure to the state/county government for a 'fair price' then let those companies compete on their actual merits instead of their monopoly power.
