Telcos did nothing to expand ADSL service, until they were allowed to

Completely false, as I pointed out yesterday, yet YOU persist.
This is fact too. The cable companies were expanding their broadband
offerings, and essentially had a monopoly for quite some time, only because
the telcos were dragging their heels. The cable companies were under no
requirement to share diddly, while the telcos were.
Just the facts ma'am.
So here we are, with Craig for a third time posting something that directly
contradicts what he's trying to make us believe.
Yet the party didn't last. Relationships between CLECs and
incumbent telephone companies, or ILECs, were strained from
the start. It often took weeks for an ILEC to turn over a
single DSL line to a competitor.
Gee, Craig, you think? In our case, that was never even an option. It never
happened AT ALL. Verizon waited until they were the only choice of ISP.
Some charged incredibly high fees to the CLEC to place the
necessary equipment in the central office. Then, they made it
so costly for CLECs to buy the line that there was virtually no
profit margin available, unless the CLEC overcharged its customers.
And isn't it amazing how Craig ignores all of this.
