Re: 100 MB broadband for all
The difference now is that monopoly companies can afford to choose not to serve the community at all if those are the conditions. I think the cable companies were a lot smaller back then, right? And cable TV wasn't as tantalizing as broadband is now... more difficult for collective bargaining. Technically this is fine, its not the company's fault if people don't stand up for themselves... unless laws are passed via lobbying preventing it, then that's dirty. |
