Comcast and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."

Aww … poor little ISPs.

I love when FCC at least appears to do something, not like under Shit Pai.

Frankly though they should revise Title II classification for the Internet and remove exception from the requirement to share last mile to competitors. This is the main reason there’s almost no competition. It doesn’t make sense for every single ISP to run lines to every home. Those lines should be leaseable.

In some places they are.

In Utah, for example, there’s a system called Utopia. They ran fiber all over the place, to the home in most locations. The fiber itself is an Ethernet network owned by Utopia. ISPs then just provide service over said Ethernet network. You can have multiple ISPs at the same time, and they don’t actually own the last-mile, or much else

That’s how it supposed to be done.

I’m jealous.
