In response to "They see no profits in building out those lines. Businesses build their max profits, not for the betterment of all. So, Montana gets screwed." by Will Hunting

It shouldn't be on the people of America to pay that bill. If those companies want to operate as they do today then they should be made to reach everyone and not just those that bring them profits.

I'm all for government action to do a lot of things but these things seem like something those companies should be paying for and not the people.

We're going to build all this for them to make money off of? Makes no sense. There has to be a way to put the burden on them and not the people. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 05:37 3
- That’s not how business works. Your job is to maximize profits, not be altruistic. You shouldn’t force businesses to lose money just to fill a gap - Will Hunting Mar 31, 05:54 2
  - If we build out the infrastructure then we should own it but in that case why would the internet companies want to lease those lines if there's - Krusty Mar 31, 06:12 1
    - I never said give it away to the companies. - Will Hunting Mar 31, 06:22
