You're not conflating 2 different infrastructure processes and ignoring the one took decades, are you? This is like saying "The US has built a road infrastructure why can't it do all light rails?"
The irony in your comment is that it government intervention, which is the opposite of a free market.
- eqvinox 7mo agoWho said free market? Swisscom is 51% government. A government-ish entity is IMHO the most efficient way to do this. You can't have 2 road networks, highway systems, or railway networks. You can have, but it is pointless to, 2 water systems or 2 electric grids. Or fire brigades, or police. (criminal, not mall cops) Same applies for fibre in the ground. "Free market" doesn't work when you can't effectively compete.
