[Chapter-delegates] Why is ISOC is doing almost nothing to bring affordable Internet to America

[MD Lewis]

it's very difficult to tackle the issue of increased access to lower cost
broadband if it means taking on the telco/cable internet lobby

over many years of talking about this issue, i have yet to see much,
if any movement

the question it seems to me we're faced with is... are we any closer to
getting
a 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ broadband provider(s) in the u.s. and where might they
emerge from?

is there a viable alternative that we could get behind?
