     @lain @alex eh, not really like other markets, though, physical space, land usage (or orbit) and heavy government involvement required no matter what, so

     @lain @alex if one person is ok-ed to put down a line, and then no one else can after that, how does competition work?

     @lain @alex so it's kind of the worst of both worlds. people too poor to merit it never get access, while competition is still heavily government-bottlenecked by necessity, all the red tape of digging up other peoples' property etcnot saying "public utility" would be all that better, particularly here with decay and subcontracting making it a trade of "government hires useless company" vs "company waits on useless government", but it's not just a simple competition wins situationsame for orbit, you can only put up so many satellites in super-low-earth-orbit before problems

     @shmibs @alex by allowing more people to put down lines. You are right that if you enforce a monopoly, you'll get a monopoly.
