See, the thing is... Here in Denver that's exactly what the DSL market has become here. Qwest owns the telephone lines, so if you want DSL in the metro area, you have to have a Qwest line, regardless of who your actual service provider is. Most will bundle a Qwest line with your service, and it just shows up as a 5-15 dollar "fee", but it's more like your ISP is renting the lines from Qwest.
And what will happen next? The FCC going to let Comcast block Verizon's and Qwest's websites? They are stealing Comcast's business after all. That's got to be some sort of tangible theft.
Yeah, and it also would not be an issue with a net neutrality bill.
Comcast also has a few issues with that whole "Being a monopoly" thing.
They need to open their cable TV/cable internet network to other companies. You know, because they are the only ones allowed to use it, and often own the ONLY lines in a city (ex. Denver).
Doesn't that make it... you know... a cable monopoly?
