High-speed Internet prices in the U.S. are outrageous compared to other countries. We pay about $40 a month for “high-speed” access, whereas people in other countries pay under $10 a month for much faster access. It’s because of the two monopoly enterprises that bring us high-speed access each month – phone companies and cable companies. It’s always the third industry that upsets the apple card and busts open the price boost. In Addison, Texas, it may have happened. The town put out a bid to set up a wireless high-speed system throughout the community. Residents who want access will pay about half of what most people are now paying. It’s a marketplace solution that will cause competition and Clark loves it. Government can help other parts of the country by allowing other competitors in a typical monopoly industry. Similar ideas have been started in Chicago and Jacksonville. And the phone and cable people will try to get laws enacted to stifle competition. But Clark hopes government listens to its citizens and gives them choices.
