Re: [WISPA] Local governments: FCC not playing fair
Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it be better if both cable and telco could compete in each others markets?

Like we have benefited from phone competition and our local rates are so low. DBS is cheaper -- but it has not affected the broadcast TV rates. -- George Rogato Welcome to WISPA www.wispa.org http://signup.wispa.org/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re: [WISPA] Local governments: FCC not playing fair
As quoted from another article; "The congressional grilling will be of interest to investors in more than just AT&T and Verizon. Comcast (nasdaq: CMCSA - news - people ), Time Warner (nyse: TWX - news - people ), Cablevision (nyse: CVC - news - people ), Liberty Global (nasdaq: LBTYA - news - people ) and other entrenched cable providers have a stake in the future of this disputed regulation. So do TV viewers everywhere. Cable rates have risen 93% since 1990, and consumers should benefit from more competition."

Re: [WISPA] Local governments: FCC not playing fair
Like, its fair to break anti-trust laws, and subsidize broadband sales by TV and phone revenue. Not sure, why Verizon doesn't cry, they are just a data provider, and set up Video feeds in another state, and bill/deliver TV over another company name? Oh yeah, thats right, then they can't bundle to have the unfair advantage.
