Binding offer (of minimum UL, DL, and maximum latency) AND service must be available within 5 business days at the listed price with no surprise fees.
Failure to fulfill the offer should have a maximum penalty of compulsory purchase of the claimed property at 2x the greater of current market or last purchase price if offered. A penalty structure for late service (E.G. 1 month wait) should also be an option. Maybe 1/100th the value of the instant buy requirement per month (rounded up) of non-service.
- idiotsecant 4y agowoah, let's not go crazy here. Just making the offer binding with, say, a 6 month window is eminently doable and still still be incredibly expensive to the ISP in some cases. making the timeframe ultra short is not going to do anything other than make it an impossible bar. There is a lot of planning an approvals from municipalities, landowners, utilities, etc that goes into that sort of thing.

- mjevans 4y agoThis is effectively lying under oath to the US Government as well as prospective consumers. How would you feel if a city advertised that Water and Sewer service were available at a given property, only to find that there weren't even mains anywhere nearby or that even if there were they were already 'at capacity' and you wouldn't be authorized to hook up? That's the sort of data that drives rejection of sale.
- genocidicbunny 4y ago> than make it an impossible bar. Absolutely not. They could just not lie in the first place, then there's no 'bar' to meet.
