"Another reason is profit. The reason so many DSL providers have wound up on the ropes is because DSL revenue is split between them and the local exchange carriers."

Rob- DSL and CM rollouts by the MSOs and ILECs have had HUGE obstacles thrown in their way EVERYTIME they made a move. Thanks FCC (led by former chief Kennard) and thanks to Ralph Nader type consumer groups. Both have cut their noses to spite their faces.

If you've been following my posts for the last few years, you know my motto has been, "If you build it, it's yours." Well that is not how the FCC saw it.

My one hope is that with a republican appointed FCC, that attitude may now change. If a service provider is willing to risk billions(!) of dollars upgrading his plant, that SP deserves to collect ALL the fees he can charge for access to it.

Once this idea is understood by the government and consumer groups, we just may be off to the broadband races once again. Anyway just my Larry Kudlow type opinion. -MikeM(From Florida)
