i'd prefer a robust public safety net to corporate welfare. but again, i find it more likely that comcast and the like would become competitive and less obscenely profitable, as opposed to going out of business entirely. and if the pension fund knows what they're doing, they'd get out of the ISP stock. municipal ISPs aren't going to ruin anyone's retirement plan. that's absurd. or as the kids like to say, national ISPs deserve a little disruption. their employees and shareholders will survive, and we'll all be better off.
