AT&T kills home Internet service in NY over law requiring $15 or $20 plans

Allowing the Sprint-T-Mobile merger in an already competitive-limited market was a mistake, especially when we see how these companies react to regulations meant to benefit the public and data breaches.

We should force them to open their internet equipment up to competition

Awesome.

> The law requires ISPs with over 20,000 customers in New York to offer $15 broadband plans with download speeds of at least 25Mbps, or $20-per-month service with 200Mbps speeds. The plans only have to be offered to households that meet income eligibility requirements, such as qualifying for the National School Lunch Program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or Medicaid.

Now implement that bill countrywide.
