My hope is the government will step in and prevent the broadband service providers from taking all profit and capping bandwidth instead of using the profits to upgrade infrastructure.
Pretty much the broadband infrastructure needs to be managed like the electrical grid. But better. Maybe some level of fairness to people in rural areas instead of charging so much they are excluded.
