Re: Hoping the citizens do the right thing...

said by Eric Martin See Profile:

So under a presidency of you we wouldn't have municipal power plants, rural electrification, roads, water , military since they would compete with private sercurity guards.

I see. We should let a few corporations who have the funds for big projects to own them and charge the living hell out of us and prevent any new progress .

The good ole monopoly Bell days.
On all of the above utilities, they are monopolies in the their own right and as such there is not any competition.

In this case you have two companies competing for business, and on the verge of spending billions to upgrade their networks. They are both migrating toward ip-everything.
A project like this undermines both. So instead of competion between two, you would rather have a muni monopoly.

All I was saying is I believe in the long run it is not beneficial to the consumer.
