>who exactly is going to be paying for internet if it doesn't deliver what they want? Everyone? The problem is choice. Last-mile internet connectivity in the US is a natural monopoly, just like electricity (more so; at least there is the possibility of solar for electricity). Our regulatory bodies seem more interested in enabling monopolies (or duopolies at best) than helping to provide choice. It is that simple: regulation and choice, or market freedom and monopoly. See elsewhere the Shannon's law problem of wireless internet.
