Brothers-in-law use construction knowledge to compete against Comcast in Michigan.
Comcast et al have taken (literal) billions of public dollars to expand rural broadband service.
Instead of laying fiber, they used that money to change the definition of broadband.
If corporations are people we need to be able to institute the death penalty for them too.

Good. Now expand to the rest of the world. Comcast and their partners are everywhere, and they all suck.

If they expand then they’ll end up just another evil corporate ISP, and/or if they start getting large enough one of the other ISPs will buy them up.
They don’t need to expand, there just needs to be many more small, ultra local providers.

The deregulation in the 90s is what killed the local ISP. Thanks, Bill.
