At first I thought, they have the monopoly, whats the use of fighting them. But now I think, you might be right, there are limits to what they can do, and I people stick to other ISPs, even if technically they are able to send back all non-ogero users to modem speeds (as if we were very far from the these, lol), it will not go down well in local and public opinion.
Yet public monopoly is not always a bad thing. In some countries, the public institutions do very well. Take electricity in france for example. And many developped countries still have monopolistic practices on internet. Israel does, for example.
In the end, I think the change will come from the top.
I think people up there are getting many requests to loosen the situation, somtimes from powerful persons, but somewhere someone is stuck on the vision of internet and telecommunication sector as a golden cash cow.
