BS on High: "FCC Will Tame the Internet-Or Kill It"

The real irony here is that the same companies threatening to
"take their ball and go home" are the ones who in many cases
have:
- Cherry-picked high speed (even low speed!) Internet/broadband
deployments, even within individual cities (rich areas get
the goodies, less well-endowed neighborhoods get the shaft).
- Starved rural regions of broadband services, even to the extent of
refusing reasonable backhaul agreements for local ISPs who would
willingly serve those areas.
- Pushed through anti-competition (particularly anti-municipally
operated Internet competition) laws, then failed to deploy the
promised broadband systems that were key elements of why those
laws were passed in the first place.
