What I wonder about is how the internal silos at companies including AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and Alphabet will be allowed to compete. We see AT&T killing copper landlines in favor of wireless; Comcast desperately wants to add content value (NBCU) to its dumb pipes; Verizon looking for new revenue growth from AOL/Yahoo; and Alphabet abandoning their broadband efforts for the moment.
A long way of saying, all the big conglomerates are placing chips on several markers and will they let the market affect how they react internally?
And hopefully progress continues and enables competition from SpaceX satellite internet, 5G wireless, mesh wifi, and reallocated TV/radio bandwidth./div>
The issue is more that selling for the usage by advertisers.
When you consider the largest ISPs are becoming the largest "content" sellers, the mere knowledge and use of these data is a competitive advantage with potentially harmful impact to customers.
Certain search behavior throw off signals that you are looking for a job or unemployed. This feeds the billing system to be alert for late payments and triggers collection.
Certain search behavior indicates you favor sport and never watch local TV channels. This informs the negotiation for licensing local carriage contract in advance and in real time as it goes public and gets nasty. Fight: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/business/media/12disney.html/div>
Control the money, control the politics. The SIFI cabal can only effectively control the world when they have their own currency and bitcoin can be that solution. Dimon might believe what he says, but Lloyd Blankfein down the street is already on the other side./div>
