    I don’t need wireless 1Gbps around town.

    Lots of us live in areas with no broadband competition, more options is a good thing. I personally wouldn’t use wireless broadband but if they can bring prices down through competition I’m all for it.

      The solution to which is broadband competition.

        Yeah, that’s why faster wireless broadband is a good thing. Some people do need 1Gbps wireless in town because they can cut the cord on the overpriced cable. Faster wireless means it’ll hold up under congestion better as well.

          I like nationalising industries, but here in France, privatizing France Telecom made Internet and phone prices much lower.

            Only because it is highly regulated. The FAIs have to allow everyone access to the network. Free wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for that.

              True, but nothing was stopping the public company from lowering their prices and improving their service.

            I pay the cheapest electricity of all of the OECD, and rake in billions every year that is reinvested in society. Thank supply side Jesus for publically owned monopolies.

            How’s that competition going with the Texas grid? You people are so fucking brainwashed that you think the shareholders have your best interests at heart.
