When has broadband been a free market? Its a monopoly situation for fibre. In the areas where small companies can get in we have pretty fast broadband[1], but regulations limit their service area. Established providers are able to lock out expanding companies with little effort. We don't need the subsidies. We need the regulators to get off their butts and let in the competition.
1) BEK does 200M fibre connections with no data cap in rural North Dakota. Plenty of these companies exist and are profitable.
