Another unsurprising example of regulatory capture.

"the passage and repeal of the rules had no meaningful impact on broadband investment." "there were no impacts on telecommunication industry investment from the net neutrality policy changes. Neither the 2010 or 2015 US net neutrality rule changes had any causal impact on telecommunications investment.” Thus both those "lawmaking" activities and "laws" did nothing but self justify government's own continued existance at your expense ($, rights, markets, freedom, ...), and made criminals of everyone else before during and after. The other problem is that most people have access to only one provider, maybe two or three if they're lucky, but all of them suck, and are gigacorps or teragovs that only care about $ and power. The final problem is that you're relying on those who do not have your interests to do things for you, there is serious conflict and stupidity there. Start laying your own P2P fibre. It's easy, inexpensive, private, redundant, etc.
