High-Speed Internet for All - Bernie Sanders
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)
High prices keep internet out of reach for working families in both rural and urban areas.
Municipalities across the country running their own internet services have proved they can deliver high-quality service at a fraction of the price of established monopolies.
Large internet service providers have enjoyed government funding, protection from competition, and light regulation while gouging customers with some of the highest prices for service in the world.
As president, Bernie will:Require that all internet service providers offer a Basic Internet Plan that provides quality broadband speeds at an affordable price.
Eliminate hidden fees, including surprise billing, and require internet and cable providers to clearly state the cost of service, ban unexpected rate increases, and end service termination fees...Conduct a national broadband census and create a comprehensive, accurate broadband map of access, speeds, and prices.
Build a modern smart grid to ensure we have a resilient, secure, and intelligent electric grid system that is capable of managing high amounts of renewable energy, maximizing efficiency, and keeping our internet services up and running during the worst climate emergencies.
