ok, you think the fast lane is not part of net neutrality to begin with. I'm on the side where words have meaning.

on his first year he passed the "internet fast lane" regulation, against net neutrality, and made lots of profits for his cable and wireless business.

only to four months later start a huge campaign with obama pro net neutrality for the classification of ISPs as utilities under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 (with profitable exceptions). Opening the floodgates on direct white house influence on the FCC and permanently making it the political tool which Ajit Pai wields.

It's a very wide guess to pick technological advances and attribute to one segment.

It's not like the non-telecom segments were flying cars in the 50s.

> Her argument is that ~20 mbps DSL is good enough

that is insane. How having no internet is fine because 20mbps is enough?

That could be a good argument against fiber (which i also think is overkill, decent cooper is lower maintenance and with enough repeaters as good as) but it is hardly an argument against it being available to all as a public utility.

> And, by the way, the FCC thinks I have a dozen options for broadband. That is false.

and the real enemy shows up. FCC, from the bush-omaba-trump admin become the most corrupt organization one can think of. They openly lie and laugh when someone point out the lie.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."

Love how nobody care if the people there consented to have their travels public like that. Nobody think for a second that this is available to anyone with a few bucks, from advertisers to facist governments to people spreading fake news via whatsapp to push for brexit etc?
