Re: Verizon
I don't see any inherent contradiction in accepting that Verizon are evil blood sucking bastards and that they are also deploying a very desirable service at a decent price.
Even evil monopolies sometimes have something worth buying.

Hmmm...which company is REALLY the "evil blood sucking bastards", the incumbent CATV co. suing for their turf or the incumbent telco ??
As for the monopoly that you speak of...there isn't one !!
Or this whole FIGHT wouldn't exist !! |

Dude, they're BOTH monopolies. They've just had different turfs until recently.
You see any Joe's Broadband wires strung from those poles? Can you get a T-1 or DSL line or POTS line where Verizon/yourILEC is NOT the last mile carrier? Can you get cable TV service from anyone else? This is not complicated.

Yes, of course they're BOTH monopolies, you idiot. And they both have attractive high-speed Internet offerings. Crawl back under the rock with Patrick.
