Yea! Why should phone companies be forced to carry conversations they don’t want you to have over their networks? Why should ISPs be forced to serve content they don’t want you to see? If you want to call the competitor of ATT to switch your service, well you need to do it using a competitor’s line, and, if you want to view competing plans over Comcast’s internet, well you need to do that at the library or on someone else’s network! Obvious \s, the issue is that these “broadcast companies” are used by everyone, and should be treated as a utility.

This but unironically and unsarcastically, the problem is the centralization of infrastructure itself.
Centralization of infrastructure that benefits from the economies of scale shouldn’t be a problem.
Centralization is THE problem.
