> Sorry, Comcast, make your pipes bigger? Government says so? The government has never dictated when network upgrades happen. States incentivize businesses with subsidies where they otherwise might not build. The businesses now operating on those networks are profitable and arguably anti-competitive, which is why subsidies are being reconsidered. We should also remember that for a new Netflix to enter the market, they will then need to compete. And now that broadband zero-rating and data caps are coming into practice for the first time, it's an open question whether or not there is still room for competition. On top of that, broadband ISPs already hold regional monopolies, compounding the above issues.
