    Hows about “Create local and municipal fiber to the curb to stoke competition and drive down prices” instead ?

      Markets are extremely bad when it comes to proper allocation of essentials. Infrastructure in general should be nationalized at minimum, and heavily invested in.

      The local fiber provider skipped my street altogether because spectrum has a contract with the apartments, and they don’t think it’s worth running fiber to compete. I wish this was a joke. The providers are literally NOT competing at all. Residential homeowners are screwed because spectrum has a chokehold on the other half of the neighborhood.
