Comment Comment by epistasis This is why politics is important, even in tech.We need some grownups to represent us.If you spend ~$50/month on home internet access, and $50/month on cell phone access, that's $1200/year for internet connectivity.How much do you spend on hardware per year? Do you buy a >$1200 laptop per year? How much money does Google make off of your info?The ISPs are rolling in cash. They have terrible customer service. They typically have no competition in their markets and they refuse to innovate.Yet, we give ISPs soooo much money. If there was proper competition, would we be spending such ridiculously high fees on the internet access we get? parent epistasis 9 years ago
