It is not a monopoly, no matter how you shape and wrap it. Feel free to spin it otherwise if you like, but you will show your lack if you do.
John you simpley do not live in the real world. Get out of the bay area sometime, it will prove an eye openner.
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
Net they don't string new wire, bet they lease it from the bell monoploy. You can only get service as good as the bell monopoly will allow.

Let me guess, one of the Bush appointees to the FCC?

There is no monopoly. Other companies can run their own cables, and some in fact do so.

Been there; done that. Choices abound.
"Some" would mean a very very very very very small number that get past the PUC and easement right of ways.

By Federal law such permission cannot be withheld unreasonably.
The problem isn't PUC and easements -- the problem is lack of sufficient financial incentives.
Name the location. (city, town where bell also exists)

You say this, but can you show us even one example where this is indeed the case. that the barrier wasn't the existing bell monopoly and the local PUC?

Hmm ... Comcast ran their cable through easements and up to my DMARC. For a period of time, I received POTS phone service (called Digital Phone) without using any QWest lines (the local ILEC). Same equipment and same internal wiring in my home. In short, there is no monopoly; I can use at least two companies for POTS (plain old telephone service) and indeed, they each offer their own wire carrier.
Coon Rapids, MN. Comcast rans their own cable for POTS.
Your tagline stinks.
Not familar with this area/town. what state in the Union is this?
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
I think I asked this in a previous post, but where (in the real world) is this actually taking place? Not pie in the sky, real people can go touch it, is this actually happening?
Don't tell me choices exist until they actually exist. Because they clearly do not exist before they exist in reality.
Just so much bullsh*t until someone has strung wire that can be touched.
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
I missed this, how many cable providers are there and how many phone companies with wire are in your home (or can get there)?
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

Here in Walnut Creek CA there are two choices for cable (Astound and Comcast), which makes three wireline providers.
