I think that's fine and all, but there are people where choice doesn't
exist.
I would chose FIOS (or a fios-like service) for my home internet.
That choice does not exist.
Verizon has not built that infrastructure in my state, nor does it
appear they have any plans to.
Where choice does not exist, and there is no high-speed duopoly to
choose between, what would you do? Build your own infrastructure a
few miles at a cost of $2-50+/foot?
