Two Telecom companies would still give them massive Duopoly power, like most people currently have with cable and phone service. Without regulation, they would milk that power for everything they could. The only reason we really even have those two is because they used to serve very different roles.
Your hatred of people with different views is noted and often repeated/confirmed. I know this might also shock you, but not everyone in a rural area or red state voted for Trump.
There is some collateral damage there, but the may want to talk to their Trumpist neighbors. Giving people what they voted for is hatred? OK. I didn't vote for people who appointed Ajit Pai FCC chairman. Republicans did. I am just enjoying the shit show they brought on themselves.
That's what Republicans voted for. Let them have it. The free market does not want to maintain phone lines to a bunch of opioid junkies in the boonies.
That is what you are advocating for in this thread. You've never once said that you disagree with the policy just, "fuck them." So you too are on the "burn it all down" train.
I agree with the policy if that's what the people most impacted by it voted for. We have to respect their wishes. Us liberals should stop being nannies and protecting Republicans from themselves.
Pretty sure the people didn't vote for him.
A vote for Trump is a vote for Ajit Pai as FCC chairman. Enjoy what you voted for.
That's exactly how it works. Elect a republican president get a republican fcc chairman.
then you never paid attention to trump before his campaign. He lies constantly, obviously, and indiscriminately...has for decades.
Ok, let us know when your ISP decides you aren't worth the hassle, even at $200 per month. Maybe Google will send you an internet balloon like they do to other disaster areas.
Who did pay attention to him before that!? I would wager almost no one. The point is that you can't blame them anymore than you can blame the HRC voters that believed her bullshit.
Because you are a both sideser. But Democrat FCC members cared more about mostly Republican rural residents having internet access than Republican politicians and their appointed fcc members did. That was a mistake, let people have what they vote for.
Your internet service won't get worse if your ISP lets its lines rot? I admire your optimism. But for every Republican inflicted rock bottom, there always seems to be a basement.
Okay, assume they all had voted for Hillary would you all of a sudden believe in universal connectivity?
I would respect that vote too, at least then we would not be imposing government regulations on people voting against it. But right now they are voting for free markets and less regulation. And that's exactly what they should get.
