California, looking ahead in the early 1990's, completed a study concluding that if every electric car was plugged in when parked, the mass of batteries would preclude the need to build any more grid steam generator plants, nether coal or NG. In a panic, the 'Utility's' stopped that with the 1995 'BlueBook deregulation' shit, costing $40 billion+ tax dollars AND going around the courts to bail out poor Nuke-Plant 'investors'; rich people to big to fail.

Not having a grid connection red-tags a home in many cities; 'No Occupancy allowed'.

PacBell (AT&T) pulled their in-place fiber OUT of the street in front of the meetinghouse here on Normandie(SIC) in Southcentral(SIC) in 1998, damn if they were going to share the last mile because of 'deregulation' changes of the 1934 Communications Act.
In May 2000 I sent a $200 cashiers check to a 3ed tier provider, five different techs dropped the load resisters off the PacBell POT's line to the CO, but after 6 weeks the check was mailed back, no can do.
Then, when i(SIC) bought from GTE, in 2001 they pulled out of Southcentral(SIC). I called a CPUC commissioner the day after Christmas and he answered his own telephone, giving me the chance to force a Public Hearing. GTE told 50 customer-victims 'thank-you-for-sharing' and left. I than bought 5 phone lines from Alliance (now XO), their minimum at the time.
Aliance was still billing me for the 21 POT's, a T1 and two ISDN pairs we had used for FIVE DAYS (i had removed their cable from the stairwell by that Sunday) near the Democratic Convention. 13 months ($17,000) after, their bill went to $0. I guess phantom receivables helped on Wallstreet(SIC).
Actually, five years ago, 'LAPD School Police' locked down Manual Arts H.S. (1,300 children) http://www.mahs.org/ three blocks from here by locking each and every classroom up with the teacher, telling them nothing, and busing one class at a time to the LA Sports Arena during the rest of the day. Unbelievably; no LAPD helicopter was involved!
Kids were shiting in the class trashcans. The 'reason' was that a 'gun' may have been 'seen' by someone. (My wife and i found a black nylon 'Tactical' back-up holster lying on the yellow line on Normandie Ave. while this unfolded. I tacked it on the church bulletin board for months, but it was never claimed) Those kids who gave their parents phone number were picked up eventually by a 'parent' who could 'prove' custody, many late into the early morning since many parents hold multiple jobs and are 'illegals'. This warranted a single paragraph in the Los Angeles Times that week. A California child is State owned UNLESS he/she has been awarded to someone by a Superior Court judge. This was told to us by the County Sheriff when i was on the Acton Town Council, and is why California educates ALL it's children.
After the destruction all the English family farms & exporting the food of Ireland at the point of a gun, a newfangled 'Job' was the only way anyone could eat. Then 'improved' machines forced 'labor' into penury. Parliament wrote a new law overnight, and 25 Luddites were executed by hanging. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job

'Sharing' is a four letter word in 'The Industry', which hides it's pauper 'Stars' to die in the 'Motion Picture & Television Country House'. My total 'take-home' now (including 600/month from a short USArmy career) is larger now than from any film, aerospace, food, optical, nursing or sales 'Job' I ever had. A lot of my co-workers got caught in an endless loop of coke&meth.

Re: We did write about it critically
My brother's house in the mountains has a donkey-dick cable running up the driveway to the microwave relays up the road, but when the telephone failed for the 20th time, AT&T couldn't find his house 60 feet away.
AT&T pulled 10 low-oxygen copper coax lines out of the ground that run his side of his mailbox in 2003 and put 50 fibers in the ground, but he's only allowed dial-up today.
AT&T offered our local radio station 30 telephone lines on a T-1 ("now just 1 telephone bill!") and stole 25 twisted pairs from us to resell to the neighborhood. For ten years, more than a few simultaneous incoming calls are all almost unintelligible!
Dozens of startups built out every right-of-way in America, pipe lines, rail lines, high-voltage power easements, old DOD cold-war umbilical, every downtown street for new fiber in the late 1990's, went bust and AT&T bought it all for $.01 on the dollar.
I have a bunch of failed glass sticks that would have made a kilometer of variable refractive index. We are swimming in fiber in America.

By Lord Byron December 24, 1816 ( First published 1830 )
1. As the liberty lads o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd !
2. When the web that we weave is complete,
And the shuttle exchanged for the sword,
We will fling the winding sheet
O'er the despot at our feet,
And dye it deep in the gore he has poured.
3. Though black as his heart its hue,
Since his veins are corrupted to mud,
Yet this is the dew
Which the tree shall renew
Of Liberty, planted by Ludd !
