Re: Nope

Congress does not have the right to butt their asses into these private businesses.

You are free to start up your own ISP and compete just like anyone else on this board. Instead of asking for more control you should be asking for money to build YOUR OWN ISP and give the people want they want. Unlimited 1gig by 1gig internet for $10 per month.

Wow! This troll is still pitching this idea? With your views, you must have billions of $$$ or are simply ignorant to the actual cost of the transit equipment. Notice I said equipment, not bandwidth. Are you also ignorant of the cost of bribing government officials to overturn laws that the cable and telcos bribed them for, so that they could have monopolies like they do now? I got a great job and I still don't have that kind of $$$, not to mention(in the case of telcos) infrastructure paid for by taxpayers.

So, what is your interest in protecting large companies that are out to screw and abuse their customers, instead of valuing them, which would be expected in a non-monopolistic business? Yeah, a company treats me like poo and I go elsewhere, in general, which is fine. In the case of ISPs, the monopoly prevents that in many areas.

So, become a billionaire, move out of your home, or just let companies rape you hard? Is that your view? It seems to be, going by all your posts.

You can't put up your own infrastructure. You are not free if you have to pay a fee to them to use their wires.
