Regulations are not the answer, for the very reason that they will flip-flop with political appointees, and it amounts to people begging for what they rightly should demand.
- rectang 9y agoThe inconsistency in this position is prioritizing killing off net neutrality regulations while the thicket of regulations which cement the ISP oligopoly remain in place to be dispensed with probably never.

- thechao 9y agoMy HOA requires me to use TWC, or get a fine which can lead to a lien. TWC doesn’t even exist in my part of Texas: it’s spectrum or ATT.
- cookiecaper 9y agoSpectrum is the result of a merger that subsumed TWC, for what it's worth. Your HOA just needs to update its paperwork. I'm sure a judge would see things your way if someone actually pursued you for failing to use a company that doesn't exist anymore.
