Literally state and local officials are blocking other ISPs from entering certain markets. Or when a city wants to establish their own, the state blocks it. To ensure the ISPs who payed for access don't have competition.



You're advocating for local governments not to be able to determine which companies can access their infrastructure in their cities? Currently local governments can require certain levels of service to do business in their city. You want to do away with that?

Do you think some random company is just going to go around putting down fiber wires in cities where it doesn't exist? Or are you arguing that the companies who do invest in the infrastructure shouldn't be allowed to capitalize on their investment?

What you are saying here would stifle the advancement of fiber networks throughout most of the country. No company will spend that kind of dough just to have a company come in and undercut them immediately.

so you are for local monopolies?

You do realize ISPs can share infrastructure...

My town only in Oklahoma only has one option for high speed internet. They charge way to much and have data caps. Thats not free market.
