I used to live in a building that managed its own building-wide internet connection. I.e. instead of each unit paying $50-$100 and running a cable modem or dsl router, there was a single net connection, an ethernet port in each unit, and you paid via your building maintenance fees. It came to about $20-25 per unit, so half to a quarter of the individual price. Even at the scale of a single building, sharing and making the internet a public utility worked well and saved everyone money. I strongly agree that’s where we should be headed with this essential national infrastructure.
