But is forcing infrastructure upgrades via legislation really going to be a value add for the economy? Is hi def video streaming really that important?
Hi def isn't, but expansion is. Our economy is based on growth.
Is it really a value add for the economy for Verizon to turn a higher profit which they funnel to their executives? Or do you think that money would be better spent buying infrastructure which requires thousands of jobs to build?
Why force it by legislation? Verizon could instead let the infra sit stagnant and overpopulated, and watch all of it's customers go to another carrier who upgrades their network to handle the traffic. The market can handle this just fine. All those in favor of net neutrality just want the carriers to be forced to treat bits like bits, not some bits being more special than other bits. Common carrier doesn't force infra expansion.
