| HEY Levin, READ THIS! The only reason I have internet access at home is for email. Now that I have email on my phone I don't need my internet connection and could save myself $50 a month. But wait, I also have three kids in the public school system who requires them to get online. Now one of them actually has to get online twice a week, If she doesn't then she will receive 2 zeros. In a government that FORCES me to have internet access or leave work and go pick my children up from school so they can use the library computers, I think that government should have well placed rules and regulations that can NOT be disputed.
Now, I hold a CCNA and I work in the telecom industry so don't assume that I am not qualified to discuss this. I am simply voicing my opinion for the countless other parents I see that aren't fortunate enough to have internet access at home. |

| PS
The wireless carriers don't need your address before telling you how much their services cost because their service costs the same no matter where you live or what their competition is in your area. Why does comcast charge me more than someone in a fios area? It's because in my area the only other option is Centrylink which maxes out at 3 Mbs.
FORCE THE CARRIERS TO CHARGE THE SAME PRICE FOR THE SAME SERVICE NATIONWIDE. |

The government also requires you to buy food for your kids, put a roof, buy heat, electricity and mains water for them, otherwise you goto jail, and they goto group home, and CPS then garnishes your (mom and dad) wages for child support. Thank you for living in the USA. |

buy food
If the FDA tells a grocery chain that they must do something there isn't a 3 year court battle about it
put a roof
The government inspects their quality and if it doesn't pass there isn't a 3 year court battle about it.
buy heat, electricity and mains water
In my state progress energy wanted to raise rates by 20% but the state government stepped in and demanded an explanation and proof
The point is all of those things you mentioned is well regulated but when the FCC opens it's mouth the telcos challenge them. |

I remember using an old TI portable terminal with a phone handset coupler and built-in thermal printer (no display).
It would make an "interesting" web browsing experience...

My state (New York) pays coal power plants per hour to not operate for "environmental" reasons from an 8% "system benefits charge" on my bill, then making natural gas look "affordable" through supply and demand. Doesn't help New York is usually in the top 3 for most expensive power.
