Probably New York State's model is required: 1. Spectrum/Viacom contracts with NYS to install internet for all rural NYS citizens 2. Spectrum/Viacom committed Über-Fraud by taking the money and running while making only "token" installation that weren't even rural (e.g. some "installed" rutal locations ended up being in urban Brooklynn and this was published to the state) 3. The state discovers this fraud and prosecutes resulting in Spectrum/Viacom being "permabanned" from doing business in NYS forever (one of the ONLY things Cuomo did right). 4. Spectrum/Viacom cries like the weak corrupt bitch that they are but Cuomo tells them to suck eggs. Unless they pay a massive billion dollar fine. They crawl back and pay the fine. 5. Cuomo then takes the money and pays Spectrum's competitors (and Spectrum in a highly restricted set of regions) to install "Fiber EVERYWHERE!" Now on nursing homes, getting fresh with his female staff and biggest of all, the SAFE act, Cuomo himself should be perma-banned from politics forever. But on this one did the right thing - once, only once. One out of a dozen bad acts is not enough to redeem him. Now I have multi-GB/s fiber - better than what I could get in Silicon Valley. Though I still have ZERO cellular - I literally have to drive 10 miles for marginal LTE (1 bar service) and 40 miles to get 5G. But that's OK. Thankfully that also means there will not be any self-driving EVs near me any time soon (the technology is unviable right now without a data-center connection with better than 10 ms latency which is only possible with 5G - LTE can never do better than 30 ms).
