L'état de l'offre Internet aux USA est déplorable, pas de concurrence, des forfaits hors de prix, des débits réduits et encore l'article ne parle pas des milliards de dollars donnés par le gouvernement aux FAI pour déployer la fibre dans tout le pays.
Que s'est-il passé ensuite ?
Les FAI ont encaissé l'argent et n'ont RIEN fait, rien du tout.
Qu'a dit le gouvernement ? Rien, rien du tout !
On est bien en France, en partie grâce à Free, sans eux nous aussi on aurait des forfaits hors de prix.

Here’s a simple truth: the internet has radically changed the world. Over the course of the past 20 years, the idea of networking all the world’s computers has gone from a research science pipe dream to a necessary condition of economic and social development, from government and university labs to kitchen tables and city streets. We are all travelers now, desperate souls searching for a signal to connect us all. It is awesome. And we’re fucking everything up. Massive companies like AT&T and Comcast have spent the first two months of 2014 boldly announcing plans to close and control the internet through additional fees, pay-to-play schemes, and sheer brutal size — all while the legal rules designed to protect against these kinds of abuses were struck down in court for basically making too much sense. “Broadband providers represent a threat to internet openness,” concluded Judge David Tatel in Verizon’s case against the FCC’s Open Internet order, adding that the FCC had provided ample evidence of internet companies abusing their market power and had made “a rational connection between the facts found and the choices made.” Verizon argued strenuously, but had offered the court “no persuasive reason to question that judgement.”
