I really want to believe it, but there's not a lot of precedent for that.

True. Idunno. I live in a rural area of New Mexico where there's basically no coverage from Verizon or AT&T, and the only internet when I moved here (about three years ago) was Comcast. But a local-ish company called Yucca sprouted up, using basically a gigantic wi-fi; they got enough business to upgrade to fiber, so Comcast had to follow suit. Now Dish Network is in the game with crazy-cheap no-installation high speed, so all the prices are falling. In this area, everything's working as it should. In other areas, though, local municipalities signed deals with the big companies to save money, and now that's screwing everybody out of FiOS. I mean.... shit happens. I generally hang my hat on the less-regulated peg, so obviously any time an FCC thing comes down, I'm inclined to be happy, but there's probably no sure way of saying how this comes out. I have some faith in the invisible hand, but it's only faith.
