Why 83 Million Americans Have Only ONE Internet Provider (The ISP Monopoly Map)
83 million Americans can only get internet from 1 provider. Not 2. Not 3. One. And the 4 companies that control 75% of all U.S. broadband connections spent $117 million last year making sure it stays that way.
This video breaks down how Comcast, Charter, AT&T, and Verizon carved up the country into 9,000 franchise territories where almost no one competes, how $400 billion in taxpayer-funded fiber networks were promised but never built, and why 16 states have laws on the books right now making it illegal for your city to offer you a better deal. We name the companies, the lobbyists, the regulators who switched sides, and the corporate-funded organization that wrote the actual legislation. We also show you what happens when cities fight back — and the exposed pricing data that proves every dollar of your internet bill is a choice, not a cost.
If you pay for internet in America, this is your money. Find out where it actually goes.
