Internet access touches almost every aspect of our daily lives. At CommunityNetworks.org, we have assembled the nation's largest storehouse of information on communities building publicly-owned networks directly accountable to the communities they serve.
How come most of us don't have a choice in choosing Internet service providers?

Why is there is there so very little competition?

The CBN team cuts right to quick in discussing it with @karlbode.com @sportshotchris.bsky.social @seangon.bsky.social and @jpittman.bsky.social 🌐📶💻

It was part of a discussion initiated by a previous one when CBN director @sportshotchris.bsky.social and CBN's Digital Opportunity Lead @jpittman.bsky.social talked about a common misperception with Internet access ....

Most agree that Internet access is essential

But is it a "right?"

We don't know who needs to hear this but...

It wasn't "charity" to bring electricity to every household in America

It was about economic growth

The same could be said for high speed Internet access, as CBN director @sportshotchris.bsky.social notes

The CBN team (almost unanimously) believes the word "Internet" should ALWAYS be capitalized

Here CBN director @sportshotchris.bsky.social makes the case for why

What say you?
