The idea that we need to give grants to utilities that are ostensibly better as private institutions since private companies allegedly "drive innovation" is so nonsensical on it's face. All it's led to is a cadre of entrenched corporations that do not give the slightest fuck about their quality of service or uptime, and competitive pricing is a fucking joke in the American broadband market.
I have not heard any arguments in favor of this system that hold water in my entire life and it's only getting more and more true as consumers get screwed harder and harder with zero solutions on offer either by these mythical "competitors" or the Government that acts as defacto enforcer of their ability to choke customers out of more and more money for worse and worse service year over year.
