I have something that doesn ' t exist ? American talks to Turkish person about privilege lmao , this deserves to be on rcringe <| sep |> That ' s not true first , you ' ll have states , which are much easier to buy than the fed gov , outright blocking competitionthey already did that in Tennessee . Second , the barrier to market entry would still be absurdly high , because we can ' t just have people running lines wherever the fuck they want , digging streets and yards up at will . and most of the poles would probably be considered owned by the local ISP that means no new competitors without new telephone polls . Yikes . The way to create competition in the ISP market is to force the companies that own the physical lines to lease a portion at a marginal profitthe leasing companies help pay for maintenance , new construction , but they also get to use it . Other countries do it this way , and it works well .
