||THIS is the type EVIL that comes out of the radical extremist conservative group, ALEC
where telecomms literally write legislation

the only purpose of prohibiting state or municipal broadband— which often provides a radically better product & forces AT&T, Verizon, etc to actually compete on quality & price— is to preserve the monopolies of the telecoms paying ALEC & state legislators for the favor https://t.co/jL5AX5LWWM

26 states now have some type of ISP written law that bans or restricts your town or city from building their own broadband networks.

And the organization (ALEC) that helped them do it was just given an appointment to the FCC's "consumer" advisory board.https://t.co/YRs4OXumUg

Democracy by corporations, for corporations:
26 U.S. states now either restrict or outright prohibit towns and cities from building their own broadband networks
Many of these laws were directly written by a telecom sector terrified of real competitionhttps://t.co/SSi9b7EBb4

Access to fast, stable internet has got to be one of the best/easiest ways to enable people to learn things, start businesses, etc. Anyone know of studies done on the relationship between internet access and economic health?

Great research by ⁦@broadbandnow⁩ on state barriers to municipal broadband. I can’t believe the number has risen to 26 states that ban or discourage communities from connecting themselves!
