I suppose you’d prefer that the US never passed anti-trust legislation or regulated utilities, too.
Broadband access is just another form of infrastructure. It’s no more socialistic to have governments providing Internet infrastructure than it is for a government to provide infrastructure in the form of roads and bridges.
It is socialism by definition
I do prefer that anti-trust legislation had never passed. It’s hurt America. Plus, utility regulation has just become regulatory capture. What good is that?
