The tel-cos in the US have quite a history. And more then i know for sure. All i know is heavy subsidies got it going and then corporations with heavy lobbying kinda stalemated it. The larger buying up all competition leaving us with a handful of companies all happy to maintain profit margins for shareholder approval, vs healthly competition. At least thats the way it seems to me. A very broad generalization and im sure in certain spot lights is an absurd generalization. I'll cross my finger and hope gov stays out and a ballsy powerful player ignites the competition. Reminds me ofsomethign i read about with cost of food rising due to costs of oil and how when costs lowered the prices of the products made didnt, until one company decided to compete and lowered their costs causing everyone else to have to lower there costs and drop the profit margins their shareholders wanted for all involved. Collective competition. When everyone competing holds their line and works together for larger profits without fear of upstarts because they're easily bought off with stock options is a scary thing. In this situation a government who is just could help regulate markets by increasing competition, through incentive basis's without competition taking boost and selling out (probably what they think will help with gov option in healthcare, however theyre missing some LARGE points of supply and demand). And then the copyright stuff of digital media... I guess ill take what i have for now and hope for a google solution vs gov to open competition
