When regulation is done well, competition is the result. Consider the following hypothetical regulation: 1. Any company which deploys communication cable in a public right-of-way is forbidden to sell data storage, data content or services delivering specific data content of any kind including: web sites or web hosting services, email services, audio and visual recordings, television channels. 2. Any company which employs communication cable in a public right-of-way is required to sell its services on a reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) basis to all who wish to buy. What would be the result? Incidentally, this isn't a fresh idea. The FCC first got the notion over 50 years ago and more or less regulated telecommunications that way for a quarter of a century.
