Scratch my back.

Editor,

Giant telcos, in collusion with Congress and the FCC, carved cable and land line service in the U.S.A. up into regional monopolies, where rather than to provide the innovation and prices competition brings, they fleece subscribers for laughably insufficient bandwidth, services, and choice.

In exchange the telcos, which include technology providers such as Cisco, have cooked up the fairy tale that ROI necessitates stifling the exploding exchange of information and ideas the Internet has brought. When Congress demolishes "net neutrality" tomorrow, government and corporate propaganda, unchallenged by accurate information, will go forth to brainwash individuals isolated once again and no longer capable of organizing to resist via the Internet.
