Thanks for mentioning it. I find it easy to avoid Facebook, Google, Amazon. I have nothing against Apple, for their recent design mishaps hurt them more than me.

But, avoiding Verizon/AT&T and Comcast are significant daily sacrifices that require creative solutions which I have not committed to.

My newly built community has Verizon only and nobody else to provide cable internet. This is a good reminder to ask my community on my HOA Facebook page to get other providers, which will involve a lot of digging up of yards and mess.

P.S: My username is anti-social wrt social networks, not wrt people. I have zero friends on FB.

I hope thought leaders start the trend of a reverse network effect or start open protocols for networking.
