To Save Net Neutrality, We Must Build Our Own Internet -
Good, yes, 100% in support of this!
Just wondering how this could work
A town in colorado just voted to do just that
and a town in Massachusetts did it last year
Turns out when these local governments do it it ends up being cheaper for everyone, and they often offer cell service too (The Massachusetts town had cell service for 10$ and internet for 25-45 depending on speed. Most residents had a 40% drop in cost)

On this day, 12 September 1945, following the defeat of the Japanese colonial authorities, the People’s Republic of Korea was declared (not to be confused with the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”, a.k.a. North Korea). It had a 27 point program including land redistribution, rent controls, nationalisation of major industries, guaranteed human rights, universal suffrage, equality for women, a ban on child labour, workers’ rights and an 8 hour maximum working day. However this was not to the liking of American authorities, who were supposedly committed to “national self-determination,” so in their southern zone decided to abolish the Republic and set up a military dictatorship. Thousands of those who opposed the dictatorship were massacred, including roughly 10% of the population on the island of Jeju.

There are now less than five months to go before the first votes are cast in the Democratic presidential nominating contest. So the spotlight is going to be even hotter on the 10 candidates who made the cut for Thursday’s debate in Houston.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is ascendant with more Democrats saying they like her than any other candidate, but former Vice President Joe Biden continues to lead in the polls. So what might set them apart, what could be the flashpoints Thursday night, and can any of the other candidates break through?
Here are some key logistical questions, followed by political ones:
When is the debate? Thursday from 8-11 p.m. ET
What channel is it on? ABC and Univision (with Spanish translation)
Who are the moderators? ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Linsey Davis and Univision’s Jorge Ramos
Who’s on the stage? Biden, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Warren, as well as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Obama Housing Secretary Julián Castro, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas and tech investor Andrew Yang.
What were the qualifications to get into this debate? 2% in at least four Democratic polls, either nationally or in early states, as well as 130,000 donors from at least 20 states and at least 400 in each state.
