Article 11


All Government laws sanctions, deals, handling, blockers which prevents competition of Internet Service Providers from moving into an area and shall be removed and remove any monopolistic behavior to allow new or existing competition to move into an area including providing pathways and space to run cable through all town, and city areas for any new or existing Internet Service Provider wishing to move in. Also, pre-existing providers must offer connections to their backbones to newer smaller providers or larger existing providers that wish to move in at a fair price. They shall not be restricted in this manner. Pre-existing Providers shall not infringe on another providers business until a new or existing provider moving in has reached at least 75% of the largest providers revenue within an area for a given year.

 

Addendum to Article 11:
Monopolies may not be allowed unless they are the sole Provider available. If competition moves in or a new provider starts locally, Existing Internet Service Providers must allow connections to their backbones if requested but may charge for these connections at the current reasonable price to bandwidth usage. Price gouging may not be allowed for such connections and prices must be reasonably explained. Internet Service Providers are not allowed to attempt to put other new providers out of business or use extraordinary price drops or any other underhanded tactic until said new provider has reached at least 75% of the existing Providers revenue within the same area for a given year of the largest Provider in said competing area. This is to prevent unfair business practices, create competition, create a better internet, and to provide more options to We the People and help with reaching the last mile. With no competing service providers there are many People who suffer with either no options, high rates, low bandwidth, or high latency connections, and this is not satisfactory to the People. We need Competition to provide better service and reachability.
