I think what you'll find is that many, many people in the US live in cities like mine with regulated internet access that would make it practically impossible to "installing a small amount of infrastructure in a dense area".

- pedrocr 9y agoNet neutrality won't fix that and that problem seems to be particularly serious in the US and not nearly as much everywhere else. We should fix all these issues, neutrality of networks, neutrality of devices and reasonable competition for ISPs. But saying that because the US has particularly bad competition between ISPs that the problem of the worldwide centralization in 2 or 3 streaming providers forcing lack of choice in devices isn't serious is the typical "the internet = the US" bubble.
