Verizon throttles Californian fire departments during wildfires
...
Honestly I hate hardware/networking shit but one of my coworkers claimed that there is literally no physical or technical reason for throttling and it is all just profiteering. Does anyone know if this shit is true?
Maybe if Verizon has a little office fire the local fire department should "throttle" them for extra cash before putting the fire out.
That would be illegal for the fire department to do that.
Shouldn't this be a good reason for an antitrust case? Massive monopolistic corporation uses power against public interest?
Based private corporation sticking it to the publicly-funded SOROScialist firefighters.
American telecoms are largely protected from regulatory action by the federal government in exchange for their cooperation in domestic surveillance activities.
I bet you guys are not even gonna comment on all the mom and pop ISPs that begin popping up and solving this issue once NN is phased out proper?
Government under capitalism exists to reinforce capitalism. Also
