So then can hand out more free cell phones?

I get the feeling that you and I aren't talking about the same thing here.

If you like your internet, you can keep your internet.
I knew this going to happen. LOL Anyone who thought these cooks could leave a nickel on the table is naive.
They have been wetting themselves at the prospect of picking up some found money the day this trash passed, they just couldn't wait.
Now the A holes have what they wanted and we all have to pay for it as usual.

Name one government program that has accomplished its goals, stayed on target, did not go off the tracks to do something else, stayed on budget and schedule and closed down when the task was completed.
AS morepwr posted above, if you like your Internet you can keep your Internet.
You have the government's word on that. You can't possibly doubt that the government won't keep their word, can you?

Rural electrification was totally a thing.

Interstate Highways was a pretty program for the first 20-30 years.

exactly.
I'll Gladly pay another $3 or so a month, if that's what it takes to get broadband to my sister's house.
They live less than 1/4 mile outside of town, but the local Telephone/Cable monopoly doesn't go that far out. they currently have wireless access(WiMAX-like) but for $50/mo it's not even fast enough to stream video. trying to stream netflix is... painful, the buffering time far outlasts the playback before the buffering starts again.

Google is supposed to have had some incredible number of meetings in the White House prior to this so-called net neutrality going through. So I have a lot of questions about all of this. I don't trust the government at all, especially with this administration, and I also do not trust Google.
According to what I have been able to find out, both Google and Apple made huge contributions to help get the current administration in office.
If something slimy comes out of all of this, we will know where to place some of the blame.
One thing for sure: It is likely the cost of internet service will go up. When does the government ever lower costs?

I'm rural and still crawling along at 400kbps tops. Been this way for the last 7 yrs out here. Hopefully something comes along much faster one day. I doubt it though because they will not invest out here due to the low population density. Gov't help? doubt that either...would be a long shot.
Most people choose to live where they live. There is take and give with all of these choices which includes living in a rural area. Usually there is a much more relaxed life, animals such as deer and turkey but you give up some things that go with living in urban areas like walking to the grocery store, have to drive 30 minutes to get to Walmart, etc. The governor of KY wanted to bring city water to every household in KY. My wife's grandparents are on well water for 40+ years and the only people on their gravel road with no neighbors for 2+ miles. What a great invest to spends thousands of dollars to get them city water they don't even want.

No they are not! This is nothing more than a cash grab and giving free access and free phones to more bums living on the public cow.
Just another bad deal as usual.

All of you who are comparing NN to the ACA have no idea how either work.
If you fully understood the technological operations of the internet backbone, you might change your tone.
