> I don't see how any company could survive legitimately offering artificially limited internet access Many ISPs are monopolies in their markets. You may have the privilege of choice where you lived, but I’ve been in a state capital city where if you wanted broadband cable internet you had to get it from one provider, since they owned all the infrastructure. You could try to make your cell phone act as a hot spot (or buy a mobile hotspot that used cellular reception from a different vendor), but that was hit or miss depending on your proximity to a tower. Your statement would make sense where people had a legitimate choice of a provider. But for many people, there is only one choice for broadband in their market.
