FCC chair: Broadband must be 25Mbps, and ISPs are failing to deliver -- Only 25Mbps and up will qualify as broadband under new FCC definition; Broadband not being deployed “in a reasonable and timely fashion," Wheeler says

And I pointed out that "allowing competition" won't work, since the market itself naturally prevents it.

No shit Sherlock, why do you think one of the things I said was to allow competition.

As such, it cannot drive down prices for consumers in such a market.

Again, no shit Sherlock because the government ALLOWED the monopoly to happen, it just didn't happen naturally.

I have endeavored to illustrate that ISPs are natural monopolies

And I have tried to show you how Google is trying to break those unnatural monopolies and whether you like it or not, Google is still a competitor in the ISP market space or else they would just build Google Fiber and give it away for free. Dumbass.

with ad-hominem attacks regarding my profession,

How can I attack your profession when you won't even tell me what you do because you're such a pussy. To me, you sound like you work at Starbucks and try and hobnob with all the other people who think they're smart.

Google doesn't really count for the same reason that AT&T doesn't really count. Yes, they can get into the market, but they are a single company

What, you can't count? That's TWO companies that happen to be in the Kansas market place COMPETING for consumer dollars. TWO COMPANIES, got it?

In order to have actual competition, many new companies and startups need to be able to enter the market

Even if there is ONE new competitor, it's STILL competition. But whatever, this is what I'm trying to say asshole, get rid of the monopoly so there could me more competition.

A company like google being able to enter it does not signify this is possible and, thus, isn't a relevant counter example.

Yes it does but this isn't convenient for your argument so you try and discredit Google and myself, huh?

Right, you're an idiot who doesn't care if his ideal scenarios comport with reality. Glad to hear it. I think I can safely ignore you now.

You're the idiot who lives in a fantasy world where you can't open your own two eyes to see what reality really is.

And I must say that you still managed to twist around what I say. You truly are a master troll.
