If only net neutrality could have stopped that, this would actually be meaningful. It doesn't stop the monopolies, nor does it hurt potential competition in any way. It just keeps the monopolies from completely fucking over their customers even more than they already do with overpriced packages and data caps, things NN isn't contributing to. It's at least making sure that the basic access is equal to prevent ISP's from doing internet packages and shit or taking money from companies to prioritize one website or service over another. Ya know, like possibly an online services that's smaller and trying to provide competition but can't afford to pay off internet companies for priority?

They proved they could break ground so I've dismantled this Monopoly idea liberals believe in. Yet another Boogeyman I mean Google could break ground next to anywhere. They could probably break ground on the damn moon if they wanted to, they're fucking Google. The issue is they don't want to break ground, because it isn't a viable project anywhere in the near future. No other big company is showing any interest in any sort of widespread internet providing either and if they did, they'd likely end up doing the same as Google. That leaves the little guys, which simply can't get in because of the monopolies and not having the resources of something like Google. No big companies want to stick their neck out and branch into something new and then just use old technology like cable, obviously they'll want to do something new like Fiber, which even if someone else decides to do, it'll turn out the same way, a slow crawl from city to city while everyone else is left fucked without even the slightest consumer protection that something like NN brings for those people. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus <cite>Gamer99z posted [p:892222543] in So Republi...

ISPs have a region monopoly. There will never be competition, the prices will never go down. If Google failed to get their foot in, what makes you think anyone else can? </quote> Google didn't fail. I live in Kansas City and Google fiber is doing great. So that alone proves you wrong. </quote> He means in the sense that they stopped expanding and have pretty much ended the project because it wasn't viable. It was too much time, effort, and money, for little gains. I'm sure the handful of cities that have it are enjoying it fine, but Google failed at really becoming a major player in the ISP market. If a big guy like Google couldn't do it, and a little guy will get bought out, slapped with frivolous lawsuits keeping them from breaking ground for potentially years and making them lose millions in that time, etc. How do you think competition is going to start with these regional monopolies?</quote> And had they not used a fiber optics line and went the same old route as time Warner, it wouldn't be so on expensive. They proved they could break ground so I've dismantled this Monopoly idea liberals believe in. Yet another Boogeyman</quote> I mean Google could break ground next to anywhere. They could probably break ground on the damn moon if they wanted to, they're fucking Google. The issue is they don't want to break ground, because it isn't a viable project anywhere in the near future.
