Indeed they were. It was nice for a second there, you know, to be able to have Internet access. Sigh back to lifeline and 4gb of data per month I go 😭😂
Well then there’s the problem!
What they should’ve done is said “if you want to be allowed to serve the profitable customers, then you have to serve the low-income ones at a loss, too. Deal with it or fold.”
it just may not end up being constitutional that way. it would be easier to just do vouchers for people who need it and implement more taxes causing them to raise prices. lots of laws get struck down and these big ISPs have many attorneys
This is awful. Someone should create a letter-writing campaign to implement the idea I mentioned above. No one should have only 4 GB of data ever, especially when there are hardly any marginal costs from having additional users use the service.
