    It’s not understandable at all. The telcos took nearly a trillion dollars from tax payers back in the 2000s to get broadband to everyone in the USA…and they basically stole it.

      It’s the American way. We’re honestly lucky that it wasn’t feasible for the big telecoms to build their own versions of the Internet, or there’d be several of those too.
