Currently, in many states and communities, the largest high-speed broadband players like Comcast and Time Warner have a monopoly on providing broadband services for the territories in which they own the wiring infrastructure. This victimizes consumers and constricts businesses, who end up overpaying for inferior services. If more participants were able to offer services on existing infrastructure, through government-standardized deregulation that allows fair shared use, all citizens of the United States would directly benefit, businesses would be able to be more competitive, and the economy in general would benefit.
