town in Canada getting 1 Gbps internet cheaper than Google Fiber

<< < (2/2)

4wd:
There was a news story on ABC here a few days ago: Tennessee town with fastest internet speeds in the US

BEN KNIGHT: Part of that is because the big data companies have learned from the Chattanooga experience. They've successfully lobbied 18 US states to pass laws that block other cities from building their own fibre networks.

If that isn't anti-competitive, what is?

What you're expecting me to say... i.e. classical cynicismNo. You're missing the entire point of fascism. You purchase legislation to block out as much competition as possible, and make it illegal to compete with you. It's all wonderful as it helps create jobs and stimulates the economy as it funnels boundless cash into the pockets of consolidated capital fascists that then turn around and purchase luxury cars and have massive mansions built for them. And as the middle class sinks further into poverty, it helps drive sales and increase employment for McDonalds and soup kitchens. See?!? Everyone gets a slice.
