Yup. The solution is more competition. Removing government barriers that keep new ISPs from emerging.

And what about the big tech companies?

Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Samsung, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Nintendo and others are worth over half a trillion dollars combined! They can all easily pitch in together and create a mega ISP that could bring competition anywhere there isnt enough.

They all benefit from the net, maybe they should help ensure nothing bad ever happens.

There is a confluence of forces pushing for regulation: cable companies protecting their TV business by exerting their near monopoly position as incumbent ISP, and central planning controllers such as Obama.
