I have never been a fan of regulation but Cable/streaming cellular and access to the internet are necessary like water and electricity today. I have developed a considered opinion that maybe it’s time to regulate this industry. What say you?
Is this satire?

Competitive pressure is the only way to lower costs...Getting the Gubbermint even more involved will just increase costs. I am signing up for the $20 Spectrum deal to get another Internet provider terminated at my cabinet. As soon as I can get a $35 deal from Quantum, I will do that. 3 internet providers to switch between if I don't like someones service. Internet provider customer service is bad at all companies...The turnover rate is even far worse than McDonalds. I would jump out a window before completing my first week I would rather boil rocks for soup than do that job.
