We have the worst internet speed and most expensive in the World. Why don’t we have 30 dollar highest speed internet like the rest of the World. Yes I know we like to think we have it the best but sometimes I wouldn’t mind following what the rest of the World does regarding internet.

“. Why don’t we have 30 dollar highest speed internet like the rest of the World.”

We have crony capitalism in which the right of service is granted to a monopoly or oligopoly licensed by the government. These companies then limit services to “bundles” in order to extract maximum revenue from captive customers.

In other nations the government provides the service or mandates service and pricing.

Comcast, Time Warner, ATT, Verizon and a few others have successfully blocked competition for internet services through the regulatory process and substantial political contributions.

You’re nationalizing ISP’s and expect better service?

Are you sure you’re posting on the right website?
