All we need is a simple rule that says if you sell it, you have to support it. Prohibit the bullshit "Up to" marketing and make them specify what bandwidth you will have ALL THE TIME. Full Disclosure.
Then, they HAVE to support it by expanding their infrastructure as needed. if they don't then the consumers should receive pro-rated refunds of their monthly fees.
All you do by going to a single payer (Government) plans is move the Graft, Incompetence and Corruption to a single entity, which, BTW, has immunity from lawsuits.
If Blue Cross won't pay for your Dick Enlargement, you can sue. If Uncle Sam won't, you are SOL.
We know how to get stuff into orbit. We've done it many different ways many different times, both privately and publicly funded. We also know how to keep people up there for extended periods of time.
We can keep re-inventing the wheel when it comes to gaining access to space and/or invent a new tin can for people to hang out in one there, or we can pause a bit and define the next challenge. I mean a real challenge and not parlor tricks for the 6PM news or episode of some science show on Discovery. I think one reason space exploration is where it's at is because it's boring.
I'll never understand the thinking process that leads us to conclude that a dead kid is less dead due to beating, traffic, starvation, etc. than it is due to a gun.

Ya well, they want the COMMERCIALS to stream.
Fuck, most of the time the commercials are the only things that do get through throttling schemes.
You lied when you sold it to the second user.
These fuckers need to stop selling shit they can't support. If I pay for band width, I need to have it when I want it, for whatever I want it for.

We need another challenge like Apollo.
Oh Yeah, You forgot that the Supremes already weigh in on that issue...you lost.
