It's surprising at this point why their isn't some form of nationalized ISP. How is the internet, as far as infrastructure goes, any different than highways or railroads?
Hard agree, and you can see some success stories here and there where communities get municipal broadband up and running. Legacy companies and GOP legislators on their payroll are very hostile to this however, preferring to loot the Treasury (in the form of subsidies) and continue delivering subpar service. Would be cool to see at a state/national level though.
I can only hope we get there. Lobbyists and profits make changes slow.
I don't disagree although a lot of companies have made large investments into infrastructure so they will fight hard to get their return.
