Re: Not easy
That is how they keep almost everyone out of their way, so they can continue to gouge the living shit out of consumers; lawyers. And the stupid customer pays for those lawyers to keep the "business safe." How fucking ironic.
"telcos and some [bribed] lawmakers [pretend to] see city-operated broadband services as an unnecessary government incursion into markets already [badly] served by private-sector companies" even when the so-called service is slow, overpriced, and the only option.
Basically, big telcos will do anything and everything, including bribing officials at US$6000 each, to keep their shitty levels of service low, their infrastructure old and rotting, and charges to access it at an all-time high.
True story, I recently divorced the living shit out of AT&T and when I went to pay my last bill all their systems were down. I laughed and asked them how late there were going to be open... dopes.
