Frontier is the only land line company in Searles Valley as far as I know. Speaking of Frontier there's an old thread called "Frontier - No Speed Internet" that I just checked out for old time's sake. I noticed the name James Sel in that thread. Seems like a long time since he's stopped by. Was he butt hurt over the Hildawg losing the election or something?
In response, many towns and cities have eyed building their own broadband networks, but incumbent ISP lobbying plays a role here too, with more than 21 states having passed protectionist laws banning such efforts at ISP behest. Instead of fixing broadband mapping, policing fraud, embracing pro-competition policies and cracking down on ISPs that defraud taxpayers, the Ajit Pai FCC has instead decided to sweep the problem under the rug with clever math, then dismantle the consumer protections preventing monopoly abuse of uncompetitive markets (net neutrality).
