Good. Now ban data caps. Unlike water or electricity, you cannot run out of data.
They don't cap data because there is a "finite supply of data" they cap it because there is a finite amount of bandwidth.
That being said though, it should still be banned because it isn't 2005 anymore and the bandwidth we have is absolutely ridiculous.
There is also a "finite supply" of clean water and electricity, but during the dawn of the Internet age corporations had more lobbying power than before and were able to stave off real meaningful regulation, now the consumer pays the price. We need to stop giving corporations the same rights as people and revisit the 14th Amendment they stole personhood from, as it wasn't intended for that purpose. Regardless of what Mitt Romney might think, corporations are not people.
