The frustrating thing is that American leaders will continue to vitirue signal in public over the need for more telecom tech, but then continue to destroy net neutrality. You can't have it both ways. Net neutrality creates the incentives for better internet infrastructure.

Telecoms have been getting a sweetheart deal on monopolistic behavior for decades and all it's done is made American high speed internet way less available and more expensive compared to internet service in other developed and even some developing countries.

But it's still a niche policy topic and it will remain so as long as tech-illiterate Boomers continue to shape policy.
