Verizon Challenges FCC's Net Neutrality Rules

Posted by timothy on from the lock-both-in-the-same-room dept.

GovTechGuy writes "Verizon filed an appeal on Friday asking a federal court to strike down the FCC's net neutrality rules, which are scheduled to take effect on November 20. A federal judge tossed the FCC's previous attempt at enforcing net neutrality against Comcast last May, and more legal challenges are expected in the coming days."

    You live in an area so remote that you dont even have a cable company.

    This isnt a failure of the market. The failure is you not understanding that you personally represent a much larger fraction of the local market than the average Joe, so you personally must bear a much larger portion of both the build-out and the maintenance costs than the average Joe.

    Yes it sucks that in your case it would be prohibitively expensive to run some coax so many miles for so few people, but that is the reality that you chose. I dont want to subsidize you being able to live in the middle of fucking nowhere, enjoying all the benefits of it but suffering none of the consequences for it.

    Propose a realistic solution or shut up and cope.
