How would subsidizing multi-nationals benefit the whole world ? Corporate welfare benefits the corporation and that's it. If you wanted "the world" to benefit then help the world. I've always found the argument that helping corporations ultimately benefits some other nebulous beneficiary somewhat vacuous.
I believe cargo ships followed by airplanes are the biggest net emitters in the transport sector. Office building are the biggest consumers of non-industrial base-load. So pushing fat broadband pipes to the home could potentially reduce the need for both office buildings and daily commutes.
Yes, city density should vastly increase. I would like to see the vast sprawling urban deathscape replaced by massive tower cities surrounded by mostly native parklands, interconnected by underground trains and fat broadband pipes. Should you need to leave your comfy digs you ride the elevator or the train.
