Comment on Net neutrality is about to make a comeback
Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 months agoMaybe even nationalize it? It’s a very important part of modern lives an communication. It is of national interest that it works, is affordable, and is efficient. Why would it not be nationalized?

At least you want to prevent roads being dug up by a range of companies installing duplicate services. Each house only needs 1 fiber to them… everything can come though that fiber…
I dunno of nationalizing is needed, or if heavily regulating is enough. This is done with water system, high voltage and mid voltage power too… so the model is familiar.
At least separating the medium from the services and offering the medium under a FRAND model means that also the service providers will keep the medium provider honest and the service providers will compete with eachother for the customer. On quality, service, price and whatever they can think of.
