Look behind every industrial catastrophe and you will find that government Regulations were weakened or eliminated a few years previously.

It’s as certain as the sun rising in the East.

Wall Street: Regulations kill jobs Real Life: Deregulation kills people

Having installed and repaired the infrastructure (copper wires and fiber) for an large Internet Service Provider (Death Star) I can say categorically that home broadband penetration in West Michigan is no where near 90%. Our competition avoids the same areas we did; they could make money, but not enough to satisfy Investors.

There are large swathes that have mediocre cell service and people are stuck with satellite Internet service which is very expensive, slow, and has restrictive data caps.

90% penetration is a ludicrous claim and is reached by “creatively” defining broadband. It’s a joke.
