There’s room for both. I’m a fan of a the government providing the fiber and support for the infrastructure and opening up the “isp” part to private companies.

There’s room for both. I’m a fan of a the government providing the fiber and support for the infrastructure and opening up the “isp” part to private companies. This allows competition without putting a bureaucracy in a position of power. I’d like to see a community funded ISP on top of a city-maintained fiber network. That way the government can be told to fly a kite if they want to put their hands on anything of value.
