On: Cable ISP fined $10k for lying to FCC about where ...

I took it that this fine isn't enough to change anything, and will likely just be added to the overhead that gets snuck into these opaque service charges.

10k isn't even a slap on the wrist. More like picking a piece of lint off the wrist.

Im just a guy, with no job atm. I could pay the 10k fine, right now, and other than be miffed, still have money.

These fines need to be so so much larger, like "fuck up more than twice and you wont have money to run your business" levels of fines.

I'm glad you're doing okay. Keep in mind you deserve to thrive in life, not just survive.

Thanks,

My point was more about the scale of the fine than my current woes. I just meant that if one guy, with no job could pay the total fine for a large ISP, then the fine is way, way, too small
