If you didn't own a Bell telephone you used to have to pay a monthly lease fee and a rewiring charge to get it to work with the system. And given that most telecoms are largely natural monopolies due to wiring, if they become actual monopolies due to competition you can kiss the days of fast, uncapped internet and non-preferential site loading goodbye.

Example: I'm Comcast and I own NBC. A subscriber wants to stream a show on ABC's website. For some odd ****ing reason, that show loads at a fraction of the speed of the peacock's website. Wonder why.
Have to ask. Why the **** is Muhhamed Hassan your avatar?
