But, with ISPs being able to sell ads, and bill the data hogs, you might see more ISPs enter the market?



Given the absurd infrastructure obstacles possibly but not likely.

One last thought on this- Has anyone actually looked at ISPs outside of the US- its sad how behind we are in price and speed.

As someone who just spent the last 5 years abroad, o yea

In Germany, i got 100 down, for 20 euro a month the first year then went to 30. No caps or any other restrictions

In England. 100 down fiber to my door about 25 pounds a month. No cap or any other restrictions.

So here is a great example of all ISPs in England being able to compete.

So for a couple years the major ISPs in the UK started implementing a line rental charge bc no one was using landline phones so they tied your internet to a line rental charge. Vodafone enters the ISP game in England offering fiber to the door at good prices and with no line rental. All of a sudden all the rest of the ISPs got rid of line rental charges. Thus lowering everyone's bill.

Crazy I know.
