If Pickrell would take all the money he's spending to avoid building his own fiber infrastructure -- and just lay some fiber -- he could obviate both the Cable and Telco copper plants in his service area. I don't believe in short-sighted ways to save money. In the long run we'll all be better-off if providers are forced to build their own infrastructure. What's more, why will anyone improve their current infrastrure if they have to give away business to competitors. There are better ways to enhance competition than the socialistic way of forced sharing of infrastructure ('wonder if Pickrell would mind sharing his new fiber with the Cable company?) |

| Well, his $50,000 wouldn't even buy a block of buried conduit and fiber. I don't know who might get service within a block of whatever collo hotel he uses now, but it wouldn't be me or you, I'm sure.

Amen to that. My cable bill is high enough. I don't want to see it raised to pay for someone else's unworkable business model.
