So, you would use force of law, or regulation backed by law, to compel an access provider allow any alternative provider to offer for-profit services over the infrastructure they invested $billions in? At a marginal, set return rate?
That’s what socialists do.
Under PA law, electric "supplier" and electric "infrastructure" are two separate bills/expenses. PA electricity customers are free to select their electric "supplier". Suppliers across the nation are free to enter the PA market. The electric company providing infrastructure continues to get paid but only for use of their infrastructure. The infrastructure company is also free to compete as a supplier. I can attest that having a choice to select my electricity "supplier" has been a great benefit. Essentially, the PA law allows for more competition. I believe that most would say this represents free market capitalism as opposed to a single utility holding a monopoly over its customers or region.
Laws that allow more competition are pro-consumer and pro-free-market. What I'm suggesting is that we have ISP laws that would make it possible for more choice - more competition.
