Shared access to utilities is a joke and does the opposite of what's intended. For example in my area we have power outages about twice a month, the power company has never heard of ANSI or any of the Power Quality organizations and makes up it's own standards instead. Next year we will be able to 'buy' electricity from another company but they will be using the same rotten infrastructure so my service will be no different. It's also likely that competitive rates will result in even less maintenance to the system. Thanks to power company deregulation we got Enron. <br /> <br />Last mile high speed intenet service has also been held up for years while the courts sort out the lawsuits. Companies who own the local infrastructure have been unwilling to spend on needed improvements with the possibility they would have to give access away. That makes it impossible to even prepare a cost benefit study, and without that there are no legitimate investors. With last mile access delayed, the long distance telecom system was overbuilt and we ended up with Worldcom.
