Getting Better

Our Internet speeds and capabilities have increased over the past few years.  We are now ranked among the top ten countries, up from the twenties or thirties.  We are still #1 when it comes to costs. We are by far the most expensive.  If you lived in Seoul or Paris, you could get a "triple play" bundle with 100 meg download speeds for around $35 a month. But if you're in Washington or New York, that triple play will not only cost you three times as much, your internet with be only one-quarter as fast.

The Internet is becoming as necessary a part of our lives as water and electricity, which are regulated by the government.  Why can't the Internet also be regulated?
