Well, the US is a very large country. It's not always cost effective to run multiple high speed broadband to every residence in the US. My sister lives in a rural county were the only broadband option is satellite. She barely gets cell coverage. So, she uses satellite. That's her choice. I choose to live in an urban area where I get 100 Mbps broadband speeds and I have a wide selection of broadband providers. It's only a monopoly if you choose it to be. It would be nice if we didn't have to make trade offs in the real world, but we do.

Not to be political about it, but I will point out that objecting to the government regulating campaign financing and objecting to the government regulating the internet ( net neutrality is all about the government regulating the internet) seem to me to be fairly consistent stands.
