Now, it’s also a tower for WiMax. Speakeasy is a cool company, and this should be one more piece of evidence to regulators around the country that there is *not* a monopoly in the broadband space. Don’t think anyone’s arguing that? Just take a look at this article about California.
Please follow and like Sonia Arrison:
Seattle’s Space Needle adds a new function
“Quality, service, convenience, aesthetics, and other
issues all come into play when consumers make decisions.

on all these levels”
Ummmm…..not exactly — sometimes they do, usually they
don’t, especially nowadays in our merger/buyout-crazy
economy. Without regulation, monopolies and oligopolies
tend to form, which lead to fewer, shoddier and over-
priced choices. Do you really think for a second that
current PC’s would so slow, so crashable, and so easily
victimized by viruses and spyware if there were more
genuine choices and greater mobility beween operating
systems and basic office applications? Economics 101
There, I said it….
