I’m essentially neutral …
And I don’t pretend to know a lot about the issue, however, I do have some guiding principles that have worked pretty well.
Markets work. Markets can sort out competing claims, and continue to do that as they evolve ever-better technical solutions to current problems. That is, unless they’re strapped into straitjackets in the form of immutable government regulations. (Witness the way automobile crash protection – NOT as mandated by the government – has continued to improve for decades, while “seat belts” are still 1960s technology, frozen in time from that era.)
Witness also how internet and cable service and options have continued to improve, especially once the “local monopoly” enjoyed by everyone’s local cable television franchise was broken by satellite delivery of service, by jacked-up telephone lines to deliver broadband (as @filmfann notes above) and as wireless service and broadband penetration continues to improve.
I have no doubt that left to its own devices and with only consumer preference and dollars to guide them, ISPs would continue to improve service quality, reliability and options and gradually reducing prices until the technology finally plateaus at some still-undefined point in the future.
That is, unless the government steps in and determines that “internet service shall be delivered in thus-and-such manner”, at which point everyone in the world would soon surpass us (as many already have).
Maybe I’m not so neutral, after all. I would prefer to see the government back out of this as much as it is possible for them to do that.
