I think the government involvement should be minimal. They should create a law that requires bidding on local infrastructure, and enforce that the bidding process is fair, and the selection/voting process is fair.
- iptrans 6y agoThe bidding process is easily rigged. See redlining.
- snisarenko 6y agoHey. I looked up redlining, but I am not sure how it relates to bidding. Could you explain your point in a bit more detail. I am kinda curious.
- iptrans 6y agoIn telecommunications redlining is used to carve out profitable areas to serve and abandoning others. It doesn't matter how fair the bidding and/or selection process is, you'll only end up with service in the profitable areas anyways. The bidding winner will most likely in most places be the incumbent, since they have a leg up. A similar concept is gerrymandering where you manipulate district boundaries to get the desired election results.
