Won’t somebody think of the local monopolies that blocked municipal WiFi and made gentleman’s agreements to not enter each other’s territory?!?

How much money are these companies sitting on, and yet they are still capping peoples wifi down to 1tb, which is a good amount acually but nothings changed for years in many areas regarding data caps, unless you have more money or happen to be in a good u.s state with competition for internet, like Ohio.
