I agree.

Our consumer/small business Internet access in the US should be heavily regulated by the government, but not subsidized. It should be purely illegal to charge more than $50/month for any kind of consumer access. $10/month for 1.0-1.5 Mbps, $20 for the next tier, $30 for the next, etc.

Same goes for cellular companies

Internet/network/voice access providers will definitely become the next oil companies here soon. When people really start to become more educated on networks and the modern Internet infrastructure, it will anger them just as it angers me how much companies charge for very basic access to such a vast and underutilized network.
