It is untrue that a "person in rural upstate NY" would have no "broadband service" available. There is satellite internet. Yes, it's slower and more expensive, but you can't choose to live way outside of the major population centers, then expect to have all the amenities of those population centers. You're not going to get four grocery stores or a major hospital either. Which has to be more "essential" than internet.

Ok, you're right that principles qua principles are not inherently good or bad. And you're right, rent-seeking corporations hate competition. I'm 100% free-market. Most capitalists are more statist than not. With a free-market, would Amazon be anywhere as large and successful as it is now? Almost certainly not. But whether it's a small cartel trying to squash competition, or an industry behemoth playing crony capitalist, that's wrong, and I fully oppose it. Those are my principles.
