Should the internet be a public utility?

from NO SUCH THING · host iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

Why is it such a hassle to deal with internet service providers? Spotty service, hidden price increases, and only one company servicing my neighborhood. Am I up against a local monopoly? And what’s the deal with 5G home internet? I’ve been battling my ISP for years, and it’s time to find some answers. Our guest this week is Emily Stewart, senior correspondent at Business Insider. Also featuring guest co-host Rachel Askenazi, journalist and founder of Throwing Spaghetti Media.  For links to research and more, check out our newsletter.  Have a question you want us to answer?
