Hmmm. Good luck to Google, for the current ISP's are absolutely ridiculous. I think that maybe telephone poles should be owned by the state/city/county and ISP's should just pay a fee to the city to use them. The govt can raise money to pay for the poles through taxes or municipal bonds. This way competition can't be blocked out of using basic infrastructure.

Ah title II for the Internet. Too bad the FCC will take it away with this administration
But hey, at least ISPs won't be stifled from innovating anymore! Can't wait to see all of the marvelous innovations which wouldn't be possible for them to bring us if they were just a dumb pipe. Just think of all the jobs they'll create too!
