Illegal? Shit.
Gotta stop the poor from having access to communication so they cannot organize.
this makes me so angry. congress already took away the Affordable Connectivity Plan which helped millions of Americans.
internet service providers should be nationalized and made into a public utility.
My plan would be to make the network publicly owned and have ISPs purchase access to it. Then they can compete on features and pricing rather than relying on being a monopoly.
It would work a lot like how dialup worked. If you want a bare bones connection you can get that. If you want a big platform like AOL you can get that, too.
This is a play to put a paywall on access to information. Eel-on-musk is going to swoop in and “save the day” by giving out millions of starlink dishes for free - the cost of which he’ll simply take out of those same people’s pockets by getting orangeboi to reimburse him with our tax dollars.
Broadband access isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Dismantling this fund is an attack on equity.

Anyone got meshnet setups we can share? Uses for old phones without sims? Our communication is going to be compromised at a carrier/gov level now that Krasnov is delivering our country to Russia.
I 100% have been looking for a good simple stack. Based on Raspberry pi zeros or similar with some basic commodity Wi-Fi dongles attached to long range directional antennas to set up a high coverage Wi-Fi mesh for our local area. Cheap or 3D printed cases with a small lipo cell, charger circuitry and maybe solar. Hang it up on trees or various places around.
My buddy has been talking up a setup intended to run on meshtastic via something like the T-deck
The latency is going to suck ass but it will be better than the Nazi filtered cesspool which awaits us on the main web. sigh, it shouldn’t have ever come to this
The People paid billions for this and ISPs squandered it.
But yes, let’s solidify our losses.
