We really need Congress to act, to try to restore the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to it's written purpose. The courts gutted access to Unbundled Network Elements, meaning that anyone trying to provide high speed internet basically has to DIY the infrastructure themselves.
Congress should pass another law. The courts basically sided with arguments that high speed internet would only be deployed if a monopoly was provided. And that hasn't been true in many other places, which do have competitive Internet by way of unbundled local loops.
