It's amusing that the highly tarnished "pots" (the Cable, Telco and Wireless monopolies) are calling the ideologically disadvantaged "kettles" black.
Separation of Content and Infrastructure is the only true way to introduce and develop competition for Access and for Content presentation.
Reasonable access at reasonable prices ensures that diversified Content finds it's voice: Changing monopolistically-generated and subsidy-supported Infrastructure pipelines into competitive access gateways is absolutely necessary.
Cable, Telco and Wireless have to "spin off" their Content(programming, ISPs, Premium and Pay-per-view , other) into separately owned and managed companies so that Content providers can compete.
Content providers will have to offer combinations of programming using both metered and tiered usage business models that will guarantee lower competitive prices for consumers and business, and many, many more Content products and services.
If the FCC (with the FTC's genuinely offered input) fails to lead the way to Separation of Content and Infrastructure, we'll know who's been "persuaded" by lobbying, contributions and other pressures to again make the American Business and Consumer the victims in another regulatory rape by ideologues.
