Well, how much time do you have?
To start, all arguments about price are nonsense. Cities offer broadband because it's cheaper per household. This has been repeatedly demonstrated. Right-wingers are threatened by this fact because it's yet another disproof of their claim that the free market can do everything better than government.
Arguments about business being unable to compete with government are irrelevant in the case of utilities needed by everyone, since free market principles break down in innumerable ways.
- fooker 5y ago> in the case of utilities needed by everyone This is not true for broadband outside your bubble. DSL is a reasonable option for the vast majority of non-tech people living outside cities and suburbs.
