“. 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.
Very sad situation. I guess it is going to become worse as our internet gets even more cost prohibited. Once they put the data limits on our computers it will be over. Everyone is getting rid of cable to watch Netflix and other things will have a hard time watching their shows because the data is eaten up so much. It is going to get so ugly. And meanwhile the rest of the World continues to pay 30 dollars month for the fast internet speed and unlimited data.....Ugh! Yes we are free.....
