gollark: It is also kind of a shame the internet doesn't work as a magically autoconfiguring mesh network.

gollark: Since you have to jump through hoops to install cabling etc., and lobbying apparently got municipal ISPs banned in many places.

gollark: Those are not, as far as I know, actually that competitive.

gollark: There's just a lot of waste on stuff like advertising and reinventing things done by competitors which is at least theoretically avoidable.

gollark: No, we have perfectly functional competitive markets for things like food and TVs and furniture and whatever.
