WAT? I'm just like baffled at your response. Doomsday is upon us...
* Data caps are ubiquitous and intentionally stifle any means on consumers sharing content
* The total and complete death of the meaning of unlimited.
* The internet of "channels" is already upon us with content providers have to pay to send their content to their customers even though their customers already pay to access it.
* Prices are not dictated by the market, they're dictated by the monopoly that runs it.
Those monopolies/oligopolies right now are having their cake and eating it too. It's insanity to me, a human, that you are okay with the way things are turning out. Perhaps I'm the misguided one, but it sure smells like Stockholm syndrome to me.
- gnusty_gnurc 7y agoI'm satisfied with the internet that I pay for, and it's relatively inexpensive compared to everything else in my life, well beyond its relative importance. This doesn't even register on the list of things I worry about.

- gnusty_gnurc 7y agoInternet access will continue its steady progress of being more available and cheaper, and you have the burden of proving otherwise. You can look up the CPI: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SEEE03?output_view=data https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SEEE03?output_view=d... Broadly speaking it seems like consumer prices have decreased (CPI suggests ~25%, but that's probably very general). At the same time we've gotten incredibly better internet service compared to 1997 (how do you even account for the monumental jump over that time period). If the world is ending, we've got it pretty good.
