How many people have no access to Verizon Wireless, AT&T wireless, Tmobile, Sprint, or telephone DSL? There is competition in the residential Internet business

How many people have no access to Verizon Wireless, AT&T wireless, Tmobile, Sprint, or telephone DSL? There is competition in the residential Internet business. If you say that "all those alternatives are too slow," I say: too slow for what? Too slow or too throttled for Internet video: perhaps. But the argument you are making is that "one can't live without some form of Internet access." Most people have Internet access available, in multiple forms. I agree that Internet is not a luxury, but 10 or 50 megabit Internet is. True, you need Internet to apply for jobs and even in some cases to interact with your government. Do you need 50 megabits for that? No. People can avoid Time Warner. They might not get their Netflix with their slower Internet, but the government should not be getting involved to preserve something as trivial as streaming video.
