What? I'm not saying that broadband access has to be a Title II service, I was just refuting you saying that the current privatized system is better than a utility/munincipal solution because you had a choice between two providers.
- tptacek 12y agoI can't understand the argument you're making here. The problem with Title II isn't that Title II is intrinsically evil. It's that Title II is a regulatory regime similar to that of a public utility. Like most utility regimes, it gives regulatory agencies influence over pricing, product packaging and availability, implementation/delivery, and dispute resolution. I don't understand the logic of a rebuttal that says "OK, skip title II, and just treat ISPs like utilities".
- m3rc 12y agoI didn't mean to imply we should skip Title II, I was more saying that regardless of the method, Title II utility classification or munincipal run entity or another opiton, just anything other than the current privatized system
