content: More regulation written by crony capitalists is not the answer. COMPLETE deregulation is the only answer. Franchise agreements and service areas are a thing of the past and need to be abolished. Let the marketplace for information services be truly open and free. When there aren't de-facto monopolies in every area for cable and landline enforced by the government, the oligarchs can try and censor and throttle the web all they want, and someone else will just come in and overbuild them. If Comcast or Verizon started censoring in my area, I know a handful of people who have the means and know-how to start their own competing ISP and would be successful in doing so if they weren't regulated out of business by the city. This is what they're really afraid of: competition. These laws and other bullshit "protections" are just the means to an end.
