The latest issue of BusinessWeek (September 6th) has a small piece on page 88 entitled "Behind the Broadband." The article lays some blame for the U.S. being behind other countries in terms of broadband penetration on a lack of competition. The recent court decisions to rid the Baby Bells of the forced access burden is cited as a negative. My reason for posting is that the authors cite the Korean experience, which according to them, was increased broadband penetration due to forcing "the incumbent phone companies to let startups use their networks at reasonable, government-set prices."

This assertion sort of contradicts Tom Hazlett's piece in the WSJ. I enjoyed the Hazlett piece but now have reservations about citing it. Comments or clarification?
