The internet is free and public. You can go to any mcdonalds and go all the internetting you want. At home, its all the buried cabled that have to be checked on and maintained that you have to pay for.

Lmfao you think they actually maintain that shit? They dont check on it, that’s part of the problem.

Won’t they start pulling more and more tax for it then ? Having it private keeps the competition at least, wouldn’t you agree ?

ISPs in the US are notorious for getting public funds for services that they never provide, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about that.

Your taxes already subsidize it. You just don’t see any benefits for your money in the current system because they pocket it without making upgrades.
