alextcone Apple ATT WarnerMedia But that isn't 100% the case, look at the outcry in regard to network neutrality! Or the push around maintaining access to the fiber. Or municipal networks. Or the Equitable Internet Initiative ( digitalequitylab.org/the-peoples-internet-building-community-wireless-with-digital-stewardship/ ) or community Mesh Networks! nycmesh.net/blog/700jefferson/Permalink On twitter.com
