I'll admit, this one surprised me. I didn't expect the new admin to support it.
The right compromise is forced time horizons which are reasonable, and parallel execution, with significant penalties. Natural monopolies are a huge problem that does need regulation, but this goes to far for me to be comfortable with, and I worked at independent ISPs for like 10 years.
Of course, when that means giving the Comcasts of the world headaches, HW cheers, but when that means good riddance to net neutrality (or rather letting states decide), everyone here screams bloody murder.
If that isn't double standards ...
It's not. The idea of regulations is neither good nor bad - you have to consider them on a case-by-case basis. You especially have to consider the results.
I said "unecessary".
I both cases I quoted, I believe we're dealing with unnecessary regulations.
