    Consumers can pick a subscription with a data cap, or they can pick one without.

    I am in a major metropolitan area and I do not have an option to have no data caps. Even the slow internet plans have them. I don’t think you realize the stranglehold telecoms have on consumers.

      The solution to lack of choice is even less choice?

      Fight monopolies by adding choice, not just accepting that monopolies/cartels are natural and just the way things have to be.

          Data caps are on all plans.

          Nonsense. There are lots of plans without caps. Maybe not where you live, but at most that means caps should be banned where you live. IMHO it makes much more sense to require offering a cappless plan, rather than banning capped.

          Edit: Googling for “capless internet usa” gives as the first result https://broadbandnow.com/guides/no-data-caps, listing several providers.
