A figure significantly higher than nations such as France at $38.10, Germany at $35.71 and South Korea at $29.90.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These astronomical prices could be reduced through government regulation; which is what happened in France. There, the dominating internet providers were compelled to lease out part of their cable systems to incumbent carriers to create a fair chance of entering the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such regulation on internet providers would be possible if they were deemed public utilities. Other drawbacks to unregulated service providers include the fight for net neutrality and the exclusion of certain communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/dangers-controlling-net-neutrality\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Net neutrality<\/span><\/a> is the idea that internet service providers shouldn\u2019t block or impose limits on a user\u2019s access to content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The equalizing and democratic aspect of the origins of the internet enabled it to become a vehicle for social movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, since 2017, the Federal Communications Commission has rolled back most Net Neutrality <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/12\/14\/technology\/net-neutrality-repeal-vote.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">protection laws<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That allows internet service providers to provide faster internet speeds if you are on specific sites like Facebook as opposed to a smaller social media competitor that may lack the funds to pay for equal broadband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The throttling of internet speeds serves to further perpetuate the market control of huge companies like Facebook while stifling competition.
