content: I wish the government would go one further and take responsibility for its infrastructure like it did with highways in the 1950s.  Roll out fiber like it rolled out roads, and charge ISPs a fee to offer service other the publicly owned networks.  Then we'd have dozens of ISPs competing evenly over the same networks instead of big gate guardians squatting on the networks.  Right now the bus companies own the roads, and there's no reason for them to let other traffic on.
