Yeah, I figured I would need to go looking around and try to understand why you say “The population is benefitting”. Thank you for the link, I see the EU has made some attempts at transparency, but 15 minutes looking around still can’t find actual details on what exactly the expenses were on just by type of expense. Probably in there somewhere.
My original comment was in regards to yours “Facebook and Googke have had to pay ever ibcreasing fines”, and I was commenting primarily in regards to that part. And your follow up was formed in a question so I gave more context. Not trying to debate, it’s just crazy amounts of money, keeps happening and it’s like it’s turned into a new way of doing business that benefits government and companies.
Also, not part of the EU, so I’m largely focused on the US in particular. But I do appreciate the response and I’ll personally check it out more. Didn’t mean to come off as aggressively or combative kind of “debating” or otherwise just information seeking and I apologize if it did.
I’m in a very small town, we only have a bar. $100/mo for 500mb/s up and down, at least I actually get that though. Rarely is it less, but they also hooked us all up with fiber when they ran the fiber thru the center of the city. Price is also largely because they are literally the only internet provider unless you go with satellite – which I was considering but with the weather here…probably not ideal.
