Don't worry Cutler helped him out by hiking with 1 second to go in the entire game, even down by 3 scores

Groy’s false start saved the game, btw.

He got one, but it slipped through his hands (Too easy)

Numbers game - Unless he passes Holmes on ST, he's not making the active roster

How long are you willing to wait for an answer?

I was talking about wireline/cable as that's where the discussion was. But even your unlimited wireless data plan isn't really unlimited, as the speed gets throttled after a certain point.

If anything, it made it worse because it removed the incentive to expand wireline network coverage.

It is insane to think that the ISPs have greater control over the flow of information than the Internet companies. You are the prime example of falling for a false narrative, and guess which companies have been pushing that narrative? You probably never even knew what net neutrality was until you heard it from Google and Facebook.

If only the Israelis were reasonable people.

These types of tech evolutions & rollouts take well over a decade

Correct, no one in their right mind is going to greenlight a wireline buildout with 5G around the corner.

Do you people enjoy providing links that prove our points? You're showing an article from 2014 where the FCC commissioner complains about substandard coverage, and then the same FCC commissioner enacts regulations that kill RoI and then people are still miffed that coverage didn't improve. Time to nationalize ISPs, because that will fix things, right.? I wonder if anyone who understood the industry would have predicted something like this would happen when Australia nationalized its network grid? This is your solution, Bernie.

No **** sherlock, they merged. Have you wondered why? Yes, wireless would have happened with or without the AT&T breakup, because there were 10 licensees getting concessions in a region. And the same thing would have happened - you'd see consolidation because it's an industry that requires a lot of mass and capital where the little guy can't compete (because it's not an industry made for the little guy)

Answer the question, how many Baby Bells went into direct competition with one another? Why are there only 2 out of 7 Baby Bells left?

Tell me Bernie, after AT&T was split into Baby Bells, how many of them entered the other Bells' market to compete head on? Are we better off now, as you say because of intense competition among the Baby Bells or because a totally new technology upended the industry? BTW, whatever happened to AT&T and the Baby Bells since 1982?

Ok, Bernie, let's play. Exactly how would you propose breaking up Comcast that would ensure that you would get more competition in your area?

Because it costs up to $2k per home passed (not per customer) to wire a neighborhood. So do the math, assuming 20% penetration and see if makes sense to build out and assuming that you can't pass the cost of increasing bandwidth traffic onto the actual bandwidth hogs.

Comcast paid the municipality because the municipality DEMANDED the payment through a franchise tax and other schemes that would be illegal in the private sector. Comcast did not pay the municipality to ensure exclusivity and having exclusive concessions has been illegal for decades. But I'm sure you knew that given your understanding of the subject. Check the financial statements of thew major ISPs, especially Verizon's FIOS and AT&T's uVerse plans.

It's actually an exact analogy, especially since you have a broader choice in ISPs than in airports

So if I understand it correctly, you're against corporations receiving any taxpayer dollars mandated by the government, but you're perfectly fine with that same government dictating how those businesses should deploy their investment dollars?

What does that have to do with the type of content they have to offer? Do you have a right to demand a first class seat on an airline because they benefit from federal funding of airports?

Say what?

You're demonstrating an incredibly ignorant understanding of how the industry works, as well as conflating the differences between unserved areas, underserved areas and what's behind the build out decisions by the ISPs. Fact is that fixed broadband build outs stopped cold as soon as Obama started talking about net neutrality. But you and you pals think that continuing a stupid policy that is an RoI killer will somehow get the ISPs to build. Do you have the same level of indignation when you walk into a Starbucks to demand a free cup of coffee because the pot is already brewed?

Holy hell, can you misunderstand the concept any more? Of course Netflix fees will increase because they won't be getting a cheap ride anymore. And that's the point. As a non-Netflix subscriber, why should my broadband cost subsidize you? Your ISP bill may not go down, but it surely won't go up as much because ISPs won't be passing the costs to all consumers, because now they can appropriately charge the bandwidth hogs.

That is utter crap, Bernie.
