An effective method for defeating geographic internet monopolies is to force ISPs to rent out their lines at fair prices. This is the status quo in the UK, where competition forced internet prices to lower. That this common sense pro-consumer policy is not pursued by the Democratic FCC commissioners is evidence of some lesser level of regulatory capture of their side as well.
