You're forgetting one thing though. Cable was built with private funds, whereas the telco's are using taxpayer money.

Ummm... this myth has been dispelled long ago. Telcos are private industry- not public. The way to tell the difference is this: Public industry does not trade on the stock market- whereas private industry does. Another clue: Public industries don't revolve around "profit margins". If telcos were public and not private, no one would be bitching about "profits" being too high or "stock options" for executives.
