Wonderful, but you haven't addressed who their competition is or provided any reason why deregulation is a bad idea.

That wasn't my intent, it was just to show that if a market exists someone will figure out a way to serve it and hopefully make money doing it. No need to "force" companies into serving these areas at a loss and then passing the costs off to other customers.

The companies are already forced to do that. They have to sell access to their lines for less than cost. That's is why they want the deregulation in the first place. The forced upgrades are not something the companies asked for but they are willing in return for the deregulation.

This thread seems to have more longevity than I expected. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, how did you get started on this thread?
