An FCC inquiry in September 2024 sought comment on how the FCC could add more pricing data to its annual analysis, noting that the March 2024 report lacked "granular price information, especially for rural areas, limited the analysis to overall patterns of affordability."

Easy. Ask the main players (AT&T, Spectrum, Comcast) how much for internet. When they don’t give a straight answer, because they’ll say it depends on bundles, that means it’s too much.

Know your place, you filthy fucking poors!

Ah yes, the rural broadband upgrade we've paid for since the late 90s is now extraneous. Just go ahead and keep those tens or hundreds of billions, we didn't need anything in exchange for them anyway.

God I can't believe how fucking stupid Republican voters are.
