The Circle Of HOPE (2018),

(60 minutes)
America was supposed to be a fiber optic nation and the telecom pipes were supposed to be open to all forms of competition. Customers paid over half a trillion dollars to make this happen by 2018 - and that's the low number. Through mergers and the takeover of the FCC and some state commissions, today there are only a few companies that have taken control of most of America's broadband, Internet, cable TV, phone, satellite, and wireless services. How do we fix net neutrality, get back our privacy, stop the overcharging, and finally get gig speeds and open pipes? Hear how to hold them accountable for their misdeeds and take the final step: It's time to break up AT&T, Verizon, and the cable companies... again.
