>And that is the result of regulation

It might be the result of some local regulatory deal they have made to become a monopoly, but it isn't the result of FCC's net neutrality regulation.

Have you ever looked around the world and found a nation that has no regulations at all, or nearly so, that you want to live in? There are still places that are wild west like. Aren't really teeming with VC or good internet though.

Where do you people get this fantasy?

You are the one living in fantasy. Where you think, there are people in this world who want to live in a lawless society. Less regulation is dosent mean no regulation. Many laws are designed to stifle class mobility. Why, because rich are closer to the politicians.

By your own argument there is good regulation.

So, now rather than simply saying less you have to defend what's specifically wrong with each regulation as there are some you want to keep.

Come on. This is a super simple problem to solve.

All you have to do is get rid of all the bad regulations, while keeping all the good regulations. Boom, issue resolved.
