I am on my phone now but I cam repost (later) an article that shows what a country that never had the protection we have with NN. I posted that article in the Era of Trump thread since Ajit Pai, the current FCC chairman that Trump appointed, wants to take NN awayvwith the Dec vote. He also wanted to do this way back in the summer as well.

Nations with regulated internet access have the most advanced and highest broadband speeds in the world. The less regulation, and the more monopolization, the worse it is.


This is macroeconomics 101, guys. I am serious. You should have learned this as a sophomore.

Hardly.

Unless you’ve got a satellite dedicated exclusively to your house, no.
