Subject: Verizon: ISPs will sue unless government adopts weaker net neutrality rules
Message-ID: <m3ogqd$275$1@dont-email.me>
Verizon warns government that utility-style rules will lead to lawsuits.
Verizon is gearing up for a fight over the government's latest net
neutrality plan, which could impose stricter rules on Internet service
providers than a previous net neutrality order that Verizon also sued over.
Verizon sued to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's 2010
Open Internet Order, forcing the FCC to try again. The commission
tentatively approved rules in May that would prevent Internet service
providers from blocking or degrading traffic from third-party Web
services while allowing "fast lane" deals in which companies could pay
for faster access to consumers.

Subject: One man's failed quest to buy wired Internet from TWC or Verizon
Message-ID: <m3og63$ve1$1@dont-email.me>
Many Americans have just one good option for wireline broadband
service. But even one good choice puts them ahead of people in some
sparsely populated areas that Internet service providers neglect
because they aren't dense enough to provide huge profits.
Although progress is being made in rural America through a combination
of private and public initiatives, there are still people like Jesse
Walser of Pompey, a town of 7,000 residents in New York. Walser, who
works as a laboratory analyst at a beer brewery, is one of the five
percent of Americans who live in areas without any providers offering
wired Internet service (excluding dialup). Walser's only viable
options are wireless.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.
