For some of us, the current landscape does not include that "diverse
collection", and does not even include the more limited choice you
describe as the gloomy future. It includes ONLY dialup.

If the so-called "independent" ISPs want to be truly independent, and
not dependent on infrastructure owned by evil conglomerates, they can
provide broadband to those of us who would be happy with even a single
choice of broadband provider.
