Re: it's also about control

Obviously, if Camelot One got a faster speed from a reseller, the ILEC could have given him this speed if it so chose. For whatever reason, however, they chose not to;
The ILECs want to control every aspect of their lines so they can maximize their profits now and into the foreseeable future.
You also must consider overhead. A small/new company has less overhead and so can charge lower prices for the same product. ILECs have tons of fat like tenured employees with good benefit packages, network upkeep/upgrades and don't forget the price tag for the big boys at the top. Investors also expect a bit. |
