Re: Internet net giants
said by richardpor  :They probably would have put the 152 million into infrastructure if they did not have to fight showboating politicians and multi billion companies who want a free ride on the net. This is a fine example what dammage government regulation can cause. I beg to differ. The telcos and cable cos have proven time and again that they would rather pay off senators and other government officials than actually sink money into improvements. And just who is getting a free ride? The telcos and cable cos are free to cherry pick the most profitable ares, while ignoring anything they don't want to deal with. The country's broadband infrastructure (or lack of it) shows that. Everyone involved is already paying for the bandwidth they use, including you, me, and the content providers. Why should any of use have to pay more, especially when we are doing nothing than filling their coffers so they can not provide any better service
