We are 31st in the world... and the solution? More regulations! Of course!
And of course, blame it on the free market when regulations don't work as promised!
Why, it is just a shortage of regulation and taxes.... and never mind -
1. The slowdown caused by the "spy-on-absolutely-every-communication" by a half dozen rogue agencies... 3rd 4th and 5th iterations copying and storing every bit of communication takes just as much capacity each iteration as the initial messages.
2. I get several hundred pieces of spam a day filtered out. Spam is now 70% of all traffic. Can you imagine if traffic went down to a third. Bill Gates #1 customer is government, and they don't care about spam... his $70 billion profit is probably largely related to never having to create secure systems. To this day.
We can stop spam with technology and redundant use by deciding no more spying. But what we will do is more taxes and regulation. It never helped before, but as is always the argument, this time it is different.

How? The 1996 Telecommunications Act — which was meant to foster competition — allowed cable companies and telecoms companies to simply divide markets and merge their way to monopoly, allowing them to charge customers higher and higher prices without the kind of investment in internet infrastructure, especially in next-generation fiber optic connections, that is ongoing in other countries.No kidding... you mean the billions we paid in taxes and keep paying to build out the system has got us behind the rest of the world? Regulating things made things worse? Who could have seen that coming?!
