Including and between the above has been a steady stream of lobbying cash by US telcos - yielding captured regulators, captured legislators and telco-written, anti-consumer laws.

As much as it's fun to dunk on conservatives for "fiber is woke", how can you fail to mention how at the time net neutrality was a hot issue, its proponents thought the repeal of net neutrality was going to be the end of the internet as we knew it, and that ISPs were going to have different internet packages depending on what sites you wanted to go to? How did that turn out?
