It is local political problem.
Fix it… or well suffer lack of internet. USA doesn’t get to ignore the external global costs just to make things politically more convenient locally.
Exactly. Oh, Bumfuck, Nebraska doesn’t have 1GB fiber speeds because of a shitty city council!? There’s only one solution: we blot out the entire planet’s sky.
