AT&T pulls 5G home Internet from New York to protest state affordability law.
I remember when the US government paid AT&T to get fiber to the curb of American homes.
Then AT&T didn’t. And then the US sued AT&T to get the money back and into the hands of US Americans. Wireless internet is an end-around having to fulfill those promises of a wide bandwidth future. And here is the evidence for that.
The US Government needs to stop dicking around with this neoliberal bullshit and just offer mobile and home Internet AS A UTILITY.
Use the existing USPS infrastructure and cut out all the bullshit ISPs and parasitical orgs that have been bloating themselves on taxpayers for decades, with zero improvements to users.
Bring back basic banking at USPS too.
By USPS you mean post office? If so, I’m gonna need you to explain the “USPS infrastructure can be reworked to offer internet service” part. Not arguing, genuinely curious.
You used to be able to do some banking at your local post office. You still can at some offices but it has largely been done away with. I believe they were referring to this and not USPS as an ISP.
I actually meant both. To use USPS for basic banking, AND have them offer internet from the same locations.
I can’t imagine just how bad USPS would be at providing Internet services. They can hardly get packages delivered let alone offer accurate real time tracking. Even if I have to send a letter, I send it with UPS or FedEx. At least they will get it delivered.
