This quote from Marc Andreesen sums up why treating it as a utility may not make sense:
"Because sewers and electricity are far more static markets than broadband. You don't shit 10x as much every 3 yrs."
I don't understand the resistance to nationalizing the physical Infrastructure. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes sense for consumers. Because somebody famous once said Govt. is part of the problem, we don't even want to entertain this idea anymore.
