If the government can provide a better and cheaper service, what exactly is the problem? The free market will decide if the government's competition makes sense.
- kortilla 3y agoThis is fine as long as: - the government doesn’t use any tax revenue to do this nor impose any debt on the government - the government doesn’t get any special privileges for access to lay fiber Then it’s no different than a regular competitor. This is often not the case though and it makes it very difficult for anyone to compete.
- sofixa 3y ago> the government doesn’t use any tax revenue to do this nor impose any debt on the government Where is the initial capital investment supposed to come from? And what is the purpose of collecting taxes other than to provide services to the citizens? What's different between garbage collection, water, power and internet?
