Comment on US court rules against FCC on net neutrality

Can we revoke their rights to location based monopolies?

Yes, in a way. You would have to work with the mayor or counsel members of your township in the U.S. They are responsible for controlling what companies may lay wire and services in your township.

Note: Townships get a nice kickback per subscriber within their borders. Yes, another money game. And yes, that kickback is a negotiable price-per-subscriber...

Their monopolies exist precisely because of these municipal restrictions, which I'll refrain from calling shakedowns. The higher the barrier, the fewer competitors you'll have.
