This is an outrageous situation that i did not now about until I read this letter. I am appalled. Having spent 25 years in the cable TV business and been open of the first seven regional general managers of a broadband internet service I know this issue from both sides. We no longer have time for this type of abuse of our primary information network. That network is already functioning as the first stage of our government whether or not the incompetents currently running the old version of that government realize it. It doesn’t matter their manipulations have been identified. The fact that there is reasonable proof of massive corruption of the statement system is not at all surprising.

We need to make the internet public, owned by the people. Remove the hypercapitalist organizations who can do nothing but exploit the users for private greed. Nationalize the infrastructure and operation now guaranteeing neutrality. Private content and services can compete openly for attention of the population. They lose nothing as asset category on their books.
