Reminds me of <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbreaker.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;07&#x2F;electricity-market-rules-were-not-a-worthy-opponent-for-jpmorgans-brainpower&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbreaker.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;07&#x2F;electricity-market-rules-were...</a><p>&gt;FERC built a terrible box, and the box had some buttons that were labeled “push here for money,” and JPMorgan pushed them and got money. You can understand the category mistake very easily:<p>&gt;FERC thought the box was for generating electricity at market prices but with a robust backup system to ensure reliable supply, and<p>&gt;JPMorgan thought the box was for dispensing money.<p>&gt;It’s a perfectly understandable mistake to make if you have spent your career building and operating boxes that dispense money, as JPMorgan global commodities head Blythe Masters has. What else could the box be for?

Lawmaker logic astounds me. If they wanted to spur fiber laying in Oregon, why not (wait for it) incentivize <i>fiber laying in Oregon</i>. Nah, let&#x27;s just introduce a wacky indirect property tax loophole.

Why shouldn&#x27;t all service providers benefit from the tax break? Is it ethical to give a tax break that unfairly gives one corporation a competitive advantage against another?

I&#x27;m actually quite surprised to read that Comcast&#x27;s offering is symmetrical: 2Gps upstream and downstream. According to <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xfinity.com&#x2F;multi-gig-offers" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xfinity.com&#x2F;multi-gig-offers</a>: &quot;Will this be a symmetrical 2 Gbps service? Yes it will be symmetrical: Up to 2 gig download and up to 2 gig upload speeds.&quot;

Corporation B has stolen the tax break the impartial government created specifically for corporation A!!!<p>Oh God, why is this happening!? Where is the justice for this foul crime against man and nature!?

Comcast residential Gigabit service is basically the same as their Enterprise Metro-E product rather than GPON with Google Fiber, hence the higher cost&#x2F;install fees. Comcast gives a 10 Gbe fiber hand off at the home.<p>There&#x27;s no reason Comcast shouldn&#x27;t benefit from it.

WTF does even Google need a tax break.<p>We&#x27;ve got to stop corporate welfare in this country, it is getting carried away.<p>Google can certainly compete against a $300&#x2F;mo monopoly.

For the life of me, and for this exact reason, I can&#x27;t understand the net neutrality movement.<p>It&#x27;s a bunch of people arguing that we have a problem and the most likely party to fix it is the government.<p>But this article is an example of exactly what the government does when you give them power to control things. They write in loopholes, pork, or they just flat out do a half assed job of drafting legislation. And then we see the deluge of unintended consequences<p>Wake up, People! The government is not here to fix your problems.
