| Pathetic...
... that is.
2010? By 2010 most of the Western World countries will be waaay ahead of us, thanks to our rotten, so-called "market"-based (means monopoly-based) approach.
The most annoying thing is that everybody gets away with this shit - the totally corrupt, crooked FCC, the fully corrupt legislative body, the buddies in the goverment...
Congrat cables, your investment in FCC chiefs and Senators etc is working very well. |

If you keep up with fun technology news you'll see that we got some US companies that are pulling some interesting technology out of their bags. Like silicon boards that can produce laser light. 
Also the only real legalized monopolies I've seen are power companies. Cable Co's are regulated by franchise agreements and any cable co that wants to move into the area can as long as they sign up with a franchise agreement with the city/county they're operating in.
Phone companies have to share their lines with others in the area as long as those other companies make sure they pay for the leased lines.
Also I fail to see where you think the entire government is corrupt here. Yes there are a lot of miss-guided people in the FCC doing what they -think- is right. Yes there are people in the legislative body that are corrupt but its not a fully corrupted body.
Do you think men in black are watching you all the time too? sheesh.

»www.cablelabs.com/news/pr/2006/0···706.html
And NO hardware has been certified for Doscis 3.0 yet:
»www.cablemodem.com/downloads/Cer···ucts.pdf
So, how are the cable companies dragging their feet when no 3.0 hardware is even available for purchase yet?

New York, NY | Seriously do you think Cable companies enjoy doing DOCSIS 2.0 upgrades in FIOS areas when they could go 3.0... |

Suuuure, ROFLMAO... 
Cable Co's are regulated by franchise agreements and any cable co that wants to move into the area can as long as they sign up with a franchise agreement with the city/county they're operating in.
Which means monopoly, right. It's enough to bribe the gov and done deal, you've got a monopoly.
Phone companies have to share their lines with others in the area as long as those other companies make sure they pay for the leased lines.
Telcos have to share the wire with other DSL providers, cable doesn't have to share anything.
Which part can't you comprehend?
Also I fail to see where you think the entire government is corrupt here.
Well, so far you have failed to see even the most basic points here...
Yes there are a lot of miss-guided people in the FCC doing what they -think- is right. Yes there are people in the legislative body that are corrupt but its not a fully corrupted body.
It WAS and IS, at the highest level.
Just check out Martin's clearly illegal actions, rebuffed by court, to completely erase any limitations over local communication monopolies. Or check their pathetic, FAKE, FALSIFIED statistical reports on US broadband.
Criminals, crooked criminals. |

Edit: Almost forgot. The need to share DSL on the line was shot down. They only have to share telephone service.

Now please stop pulling out random nonsense from your nether regions. I'm almost expecting you to complain that we dont have better broadband because the government doesn't want us to have access to reversed engineed alien communication technology.
