You really need to stop wasting time. What Google Fiber? If anything, for a few
otherwise deprived communities, eventually you might have Google Fiber 2.0.
What municipal broadband? If municipal broadband even exists, it is only for
communities that otherwise have no options. And what satellite broadband? The
type that creates such long delays that it's not always adequate? What
wireless? The type that I already explained was easily saturated, and provided
proof?
You really need to stop wasting time with specious nonsense. Eventually, some
extra options might emerge. Now, it is what it is.
But there is no need for the higher speeds and high data caps if
you DO NOT want to stream your TV via the Internet.
Wrong. Already covered that. Just a monthly Microsoft Update becomes
problematic without broadband, and those who work from home typically also
require more than DSL, these days. Just to get on the corporate networks. DSL
is becoming what dialup became (unless they deploy advanced forms of DSL, which
they don't do only for the saek of more competition).
You CHOSE to subscribe to Verizon Broadband, because their DSL
service was inadequate
STOP WASTING TIME! Already covered that. DSL is no longer supported! It broke,
and they couldn't/wouldn't fix it! And DSL was also Verizon's anyway. I told
you, I have two options.
That's a very OLD story Bert.
Which is always the case. Our utilities are regulated, because people typically
have no options, and unregulated, they have proven to be less than trustworthy.
Just like your much-touted building codes, Craig. Without those building codes,
it would be a crap shoot. You couldn't even figure that much out, before
veering off on that tangent. You even waste time when it weakens your arguments.
BULL. Bit Torrent was blocked because of rampant piracy
Hey, WAKE UP! First, you stubbornly refused to educate yourself, even when I
posted a link which listed the many violations of neutrality. More to the
point, if their lawyers did not use piracy as their excuse, and I quoted you
this, why should I listen to you? I don't listen to you, Craig, because you
have a habit of inventing your own facts, to suit your circular arguments. It's
laughable to pretend that an MVPD would play an altruistic role of a piracy
police, except for their own, walled-in content.
Google is NOT a telecom Bert.
Yes, it is, if/when it offers Internet broadband service. Again STOP WASTING
TIME! This type of service has been defined as "advanced telecom service," from
the 1980s. And you still can't seem to comprehend that in 1996, access to the
Internet **was of necessity** over Title II, neutral, telephone lines. You just
can't wrap your head around this, and why it is significant. ISP service was
highly competitive and widely available ONLY BECAUSE OF TITLE II.
Wake up, Craig! And stop always going back to square 1.
Bert
