You have to be the dumbest piece of shit I have met. Money and greed drives our country you tool, and the entire ISP model from the start was set up to ultimately control the internet in a way that brings about more money. Also, ISPs have monopolies you ass hat. You can't walk down the street to buy a new ISP contract or find a service provider, and no 2 or 3 in an area is not competition. Learn some fucking economics before you speak asshole. Fucking American idiocies...

Maybe it's different in your area, but I can think of a half dozen different ways to get high speed internet where I live. And if you don't mind using a phone line, you can use any one of dozens of ISPs. I'm really excited about the expansion of smart phones, as they increase the need for fast wifi. As fast wifi becomes more ubiquitous, we will have dozens or hundreds of companies that can provide us with a fast connection.
I'm not too worried about there being too little competition in the future, unless the government is able to pass regulations which allows it to determine who may compete, and net neutrality laws are that Trojan horse. I, too, dislike big businesses that want to screw over customers. Unfortunately, they have learned that using the government is the best way to obtain a monopoly. We want to avoid having a few unelected bureaucrats in charge of the rules of the internet. People are corruptible and once a few people are given the power to make decisions that affect huge industries, the big players in those industries will use their influence to make sure the rules are stacked in their favor.
