> If you can’t understand that a public utility can’t be compared to market-based examples Well, you're presupposing that ISPs are public utilities. I've lived in exactly zero places where I had a choice of providers in power, water, or sewer (what I consider to be actual utilities), and I've lived in exactly zero places where I had no choice of "broadband"[0] providers. I understand that there exist places where this is not the case, but exceptions don't unmake the rule. I just looked up a random house in one of the poorest neighborhoods of LA (South Central), and found that it has access to both Spectrum coaxial service as well as gigabit symmetric fiber provided by AT&T. I promise you I didn't cherry-pick this example. [0]: Such as it may be.
