If I could choose between a dozen broadband providers the way I can between restaurants, automobile manufacturers or clothing stores, this would not be a problem.

In fact, none of what this thread is about would be a problem.

As it is, I have as much choice in broadband as I do in electricity, tap water, or garbage pickup.

Any company that wants to have a monopoly in access to my home should expect to be regulated like a monopoly.

You have choices

Direct TV or Dish

Cable

Telephone or other Alt carrier supplying connections

this is a huge infrastructure cost business with operations expenses that are substantial. There isn’t room for many.
