If you care about a free and open Internet, you'll work on the next generation of physical layer. One that is not subject to self-serving corporate and government control.

All the rest is just asking for something they've already made clear they don't want to give you. (And won't, using physical force as a last resort.)

(I originally wrote "interest and manipulation", but in that regard, how are they any different than the rest of us? But "control"? No, not that.)



Or push for what we have here in Japan? One government company owns all the lines, but isn't allowed to sell bandwidth to customers, but has to allow any changes npany to resell that bandwidth.

Competition is pretty damn good here (coming from Aus), and speeds are amazing.

My last connection was 2gb/s for around $40 us/month with no cap or throttling.
