Needless to say but any half decent company would offer a job instead of sueing. Any half decent court would acquit. Of course at least the company should go bankrupt by time but event that might not happen if the govt bails them out (or rather salvages for cronies).

I don't know anything about this, but from what little I know, there is no place for this kind of ability and competence in government.

Well no. But i think thats all the more reason to incentivize people to do the right thing.

Not just govt, telekom companies too.

Monopoly businesses basically. This problem is not limited to Hungary. ATT won't pay me money it agrees it owes me.

Yeah, it's about monopolies. Telcos are interesting in that sense btw bc of the the "last mile" problem (maybe youve heard abt this). There are competing companies but they have a monopoly on the house level.

I have a weak familiarity with it. Here's how I'd think about it: 1. Cable telcos suck (mobile telcos not as bad, notably) 2. Why? Insufficient competition. Many houses only have 1 option. Few have more than 3 options. 3. Why is there insufficient competition?

I don't actually think it's the last-mile problem. It's that cities sell a charter to telecom companies, who then cite the last-mile problem as a reasoning for a limited number of charters being granted. Telcos basically say "hey, you can't expect me to lay all this wire...
