Court OKs FCC Decision That One ISP Counts as a Competitive Marketplace

Clearly, the courts are deferring this mess to the court of politics.

Poor representative government, representing the public interest poorly is a civic matter, not a legal one.

At some point, all of us need to think hatd about basic priorities, and then vote, do politicking, run for office, do business accordingly, or this is by implied consent, OK.

Frankly, there is no way this is OK, meaningful competition.

One could argue, satellite Internet, the various major efforts to connect are threats to telecoms. Agreed, but failure to encourage competition in each of those spaces is not market chouce or efficiency rewards for innovation either.

Doing just that is a competition between the means, OTA, wire, fiber, etc... the end game being a few entities controlling and pricing the resource.

In this scenario, people can expect the least per dollar, rather than the most per dollar where competition is robust.
