"The newly Republican FCC continues to dismantle any and all consumer protections from telecoms. Thursday, Chairman Ajit Pai and his cronies lifted the broadband price caps for most of the business broadband market. They did this by creating a new set of standards for what is considered to be a “competitive market.” Of course, Ajit Pai—champion of transparency—didn’t let the public see which markets that would be beforehand. Guess what? Those markets include smaller and poorer areas where there is only ONE broadband provider and virtually no hope of there ever being any competition."
