The regulation proposed by the NY is also strange. If you want to help low-income families to access internet, why don't you just pay their internet bills directly? Or, just to give them money and they can choose where to spend it?
- avmich 5y ago> The regulation proposed by the NY is also strange. If you want to help low-income families to access internet, why don't you just pay their internet bills directly? A simple model for why the Internet is so pricey in USA is that providers made a deal with government that ISP are investing into infrastructure while government passes laws favorite to leading ISPs. Those laws make competition uneven, so existing ISPs enjoy monopolistic market. From this model, government doesn't see a point in paying for bills high prices it helped to create. Better adjust laws.
