Re: Re: Re: Responding to Martin Geddes
by Richard Bennett
Right, Japan has the same deal for DSL that we have in the US for DSL at the moment, unbundling. My statement won't be true in a few weeks. And has unbundling in the US lead to a massive investment in the DSL infrastructure? Clearly not, as cable is a vastly more functional plant, and it hasn't been unbundled. So what we can learn from this, exactly? We can learn that a newly-privatized government monopoly with tons of cash might want to invest in FTTH, that lightly-regulated investor-funded business might, but that investor-funded business strapped with massive government regulations clearly won't. The fallacy that all net neutralitarians run into is the idea that the Easter Bunny builds fiber networks for the fun of it.
