"Another major issue that people keep ignoring is that opening the wires to multiple ISP's does nothing to change the monopoly control of the MSO's in how they build their systems and who they buy equipment from. In any one location you still have only one place to go if you want cable internet service."

E. Davies,
Small correction. GTE has built a two-way HFC cable plant that passes a population of 1,000,000 people (I do not know how many homes? Probably 250,000). They did this right on top of Time Warner's Road Runner Service area. I have two choices for cable modem Internet access. GTE is expanding this area everyday and I do not see why it would not be possible for any ISP, AOL, or CLEC to do the same thing.

If anyone wants to complete with any MSO, do what GTE did. Spend the money.
