I'm in favor of the FCC's equal-access laws. Otherwise people in places with poor infrastructure will have to pay even more to get service, which seems counter-productive for society.



That's fine, but you can not be in favor of these laws and then condemn their direct consequences with righteous indignation. If you've got the one, you've got the other. If you have onerous regulation in some market, you'll be limited to a few large players that can master that regulation.


Unless that regulation produces unintended consequences that depress internet access for all of society as a whole.
