Quoted from emkay:What land? Whose network was "mostly Federally-paid for"? Who is this bad guy who's gonna squeeze that one single pipe that goes to Pinside so we can't all get on here and piss each other off? It's like blaming "the cloud". You both want to make this an all-or-nothing cage match and I don't think we're even talking about the same things. Except the FCC chairman, he's obviously a tool.
Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the majority of network/broadband/cable and other utility lines all run on easements or public land? Is there a company that truly owns most of the land it's cables sit on?
As for the"federally paid for" part, I think he is referring to government subsidies or incentives to lay out the connections and expand the network.
