… unfortunately this kind of speed is totally unaffordable at home, at least in this country. Thanks so much, dear politicians and FCC – your deregulation policies and over $200 billion worth of subsidies to the big telcos have brought us… ‘broadband’ that is slow and overpriced. I say we demand the money back, use some of it to buy one of the big telcos – Verizon’s market capitalization is only $112 billion, hmmm – and build out some *real* broadband infrastructure with the rest of the money.
