Thank you, this is interesting. I think anot...John,<br />Thank you, this is interesting. I think another good analogy is with the fixed telcoms network which has moved from actual monopoly to some competition in broadband supply - both from large entities like Virgin and from entrepreneurial start ups operating in geographical territories such as Gigaclear. There has also been a large technological change from charging for usage as voice minutes to charging for capacity (megabits per second). <br />I also wonder if your analysis applies just to National Grid or to local distribution companies? I think the competition issues will differ - along the lines of the fractal grid that you and others have described.MikeDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350778556736462919noreply@blogger.com
