“The Myth of America’s Inferior Broadband” WSJ August 5th ,2013
This article makes a very important point. When the broadband provider owns the line, it has an incentive to invest in it. If you own the line you harvest the good and the bad form the line. You have every incentive to make the most of it. That is why since the elimination of the mandatory leasing arrangements to those who own the lines and the switch to a feasibilities based approach in which the companies own their own network has resulted in a tremendous improvement of the broadband service in the U.S. This point won Ronald Coase the Nobel Prize. The essence of his theory is that well defined property rights eliminate external effects. A great insight that should help explain why cable may be a good investment.

We estimate the odds of the expected third quarter change in the index exceeding the previous quarter change in the index to be approximately 63.83%.
