Forced leasing of the last mile nor any kind of actual competition doesn't solve the problem, and the US wireless market is far from healthy. Half of this article is still free-market wishful thinking. The Netherlands, where there are plenty of ISP's to choose from, made Net Neutrality law exactly because the mobile providers "magically" nearly simultaneously announced plans for breaking net neutrality. (And after net neutrality became law, they all decided to raise their data prices.) In a market with a limited number of players (and there will always be a limited number of players, regardless of regulation), it's way too easy to form informal cartels. A free market doesn't mean we magically don't need consumer protection or civil rights. Also "wireless Internet is good"? All mobile services in the US are overpriced, suck balls and generally exploit the lack of regulation in a way that would see consumers in most other countries revolt.

I am very petty about this one bug and have a very old axe to grind that this reminded me of!
Not just the edge router.
