re: #18 A Mom Anon

This is just a general question to the room. How does this mean profits for ISPs? If only rich people, or at least well off people, can afford internet access, then how is that expanding their market? Most of America, contrary to what the assholes in Congress and this Administration think, has to live on a budget of some kind. If internet access becomes cumbersome, slow and limited, people aren’t going to want to buy it. We’ve become dependent on the internet for so much, but if most people can only afford the cheapest package offered, how the hell does that make money? I really don’t get it.

you’re right - it wont work if they kill their own customer bases

theres gonna be short term pain
smart and creative people are going to develop work arounds
some second kind of interconnectedness not based on phone lines or cable?
a wifi or other wireless breakthrough?

meanwhile california and NY are already mobilizing
