Because broadband has established itself as a household centerpiece, there is little doubt that it will continue to be the future of communication. However, there is one question I do find myself wondering is, how exactly will this transition come to full maturity? With telephone companies continuing to expand their foothold in the broadband arena of internet and voice, we can only assume the resistance they will face will only increase until some sort of law is implemented to either allow state and/or national franchise agreements or they allow the current controlling companies to strong-arm the newcomers out of competition. With no amicable end in sight it seems once again, it will be a commercial debate settled with political powers. If only things could be sorted out without going to the courts; wouldn't it be much more interesting if we just let them proverbially duke it out until they reach an agreement of their own.
