Yeah, I'm sorry but I think every point I made went right over your head.
I said give municipalities the right to build their own networks, and you say "well, one of the nation's largest phone companies sued Monticello, not Verizon. Therefore, your claims against Verizon are unwarranted."
What? And then you said "it's expensive, and it takes time." Well yeah, that's pretty much a given. That's why you let municipalities do it instead of suing them when they try. That's why we handed Verizon $70 billion--to do exactly that. That's what we expect out of a company like AT&T who generates $120 billion in annual revenue. They should have saw this coming, and instead of upgrading their crap network, they want to tell us that "we don't have the bandwidth to support your YouTube and Hulu habits, therefore, we shall charge you even more!"
Rich and poor has everything to do with it. Look up redlining and HR 5252. This is all about money, you'd be stupid to argue that it's not.
