Just to clarify, it's not just poles, but other infastructure as well. Hopefully this includes underground as well as above. Just one more reason that internet should be classified as a utility, which it is at this point.
The difference is, now the company not providing you broadband can't tell the government they are.
It'll become a lot easier to get NFL games when no network carries them any longer and it's "Stream it yourself or get lower ratings than chess competitions."
You live in Omaha. Don't you have OTA stations? It's a whole lot flatter there, so you shouldn't need a 400' tower to get the nearest CBS or fox station like I do.

Oh no, I totally get it. It's put up or shut up time. They either put up the broadband (as advertised) or else the gvt will shut up its subsidy wallet.

It's official, if they want to claim they got you broadband, it has to be 25 megabit or better.
And that's exactly why this came about. The US lags behind europe in broadband so badly it's like they're not even running the same race. Let the ISPs squall like infants with their lollies taken away, they've been getting fat off sub-par service for decades now, and it's time to reap what they have sown.
