Much as I don’t like ISPs, and I’ve worked for a few, in the field and on the phones, I shudder to think of our government running one. Yes, they should absolutely be classed as utilities. But I don’t want the government involved in actual operations. That’s a nightmare in 12 different ways.
It’s a weird business space. Despite being a monopoly in most American markets, they keep expanding service, for no extra cost. I have no idea why they’re doing this.
I live on the edge of town in a redneck suburb. No reason to improve service out here, they’re the only real game in town. Yet I keep getting faster and faster speeds for no extra cost.
Anyone know what’s driving improvements without competition? Or is there competition I’m not seeing?
