Also, municipalities should not be able to sell exclusive rights to single or even dual carriers to the easements.
This I agree with mostly, unless the municipality is offering free internet as a part of the taxes.
It's where there is no community choice, that businesses like Frontier, Time Warner (Spectrum) etc are entrenched and make these wild claims about leaving etc, that the municipality folds and provides these insane concessions.
I'm not really for a municipality providing access either. Infrastructure for access, sure, but actual internet access - I'm borderline. If the city does the right thing and constantly renegotiates it's contracts to get good rates for the municipality, then maybe. But the ISPs could have a junction to the municipalities network and then residents could pick any provider they wanted... all the while the city ensuring it's not the bottle neck (taxes) would allow actual competition.
But managing a network like that might just not be doable.I'm I'm not a huge fan of the city being the ISP because I'm against government having those records (not that they don't pay the ISPs for them now).

@Dashrender technically a fair market can be a market of 1. . .
It's not how many are in the market, but how many can be in the market.
Exactly. If you invent something, the market is fair as long as you're the only player. The instant there's a second player, if they are somehow prevented from coming into the market, it's no longer fair.

Government will have the records either way. I prefer pushing the records into government hands because that is what pushes for regulation. Having governments only have records unofficially, or sometimes, encourages people to ignore putting watchdogs on the government.

Isn't public corruption fun? At least they tried to hide it in the past.

Seriously. It amazes me that someone who is obviously so incompetent as to not understand what the internet is and where it came from can regulate it.

/s It's cool guys, we're all just having a massive shared hallucination.
Calm down . . .
/sAlso make sure to watch John Olivier Tonight, as I'm sure he'll be back on this topic.
Repeat these in your twitter posts etc. Go to the below website and tell them you support Strong Title II and the classification of Broadband as Telecommunications.

Net Neutrality more popular than the FCC thought.

Obviously the internet needs fast lanes to survive.

@coliver this quote right here proves that Pai and the rest of the Anti Net Neutrality congressmen have no clue at all how the internet operates.
"Chairman Pai just mentioned medical diagnostics," Johnson said. "You might need a fast lane within that pipeline so those diagnoses can be transmitted instantaneously and not be held up by, I don't know, maybe a movie streaming."

Right... There are provisions in the current Net Neutrality rules specifically for tele-medicine.

And there are provisions so the FCC can stop abuses from ISP's like these.
