Can someone here tell me what is going on without all the blame attached? This is a very poorly written article, sounding like a hit piece without much fact. I don’t want to dig through this pile to find the pony.

Rural voters voted for trump.... Now there is a policy which will (ever so slightly) hurt rural voter... Now all the rural voters hate trump.

It’s all about spreading the spectrum around....

Yeah, terrible article. Just a rant.

Seems like a reasonable article:

I’d say the ‘devil is in the details’ but the change could be good. (And I’m a rural Trump voter with poor internet access choices.)

It is basic economics: carriers have to pay for towers and boosters for their customers, and recoup those charges by the increased contracts from large populations. Barry wanted every service offered to NYC to be offered across the plains of the US, but the carriers had to cover the costs. On top of that they were pressured to offer free services to the "less fortunate" and Net Neutrality laws (proposed) would have prevented large volume customers from paying a premium for faster service. In essence the ghetto rat would get the exact same service as a multi-million dollar corporation, while the carriers would have to cover the costs to provide to every single household no matter how remote.

There is a reason our phones are still on 4G (meaning 4th generation of development) since the Bush administration....no incentive to upgrade.

The article is awful. I tried ignoring the manipulative premise smuggling and emotional slanting to no avail. The core argument is so obtuse I wonder if there is any baby in all that bath water. It certainly isn’t convincing.

Ignore Townhall- another rat hole infested with NeverTrumpers.
