Are these the ISPs that got a lot of money to build fiber and then didn't build any fiber?
$400 billion you say?
We have been paying extra fees and taxes to the ISPs to build that fiber infrastructure, and now they also want the internet companies to pay. Time to let your congress person know that we will not put up with that
Citizens say US should make the ISPs invest all that sweet government money they got in our infrastructure.
