There's almost no other country with a situation as comparable to the US's so unless you can show otherwise it's already doubtful that your idea of adding more value to a service will work ... (in fact it's probably worse for driving revenue unless more value is locked behind the premium options but ending net neutrality will already do this) It really grinds my gears how people will take examples of solutions from other nations such as healthcare and apply it to the US since it shows how much more naive they can get ... |
Ofcourse you look at other countries and what they do, that is exactly what every country does all the time, including the US =). Why do you otherwise think that you have public schools, public transportation, publically funded police and fire department, a governmental system with inspiration from Europe? You can´t possibly be so naive as to think those ideas formed out of a bubble with no influence from other nations? The same goes with net neutrality: ISP´s in the US will ofcourse look at how ISP´s in other nations have been succesful at monetizing the lack of net neutrality and therefore you need to also look at how other countries does it.
And the example with healthcare, seriously... Medicare and Medicade was formed as an inspiration from how the UK finance its public healthcare.
