The USA did it with telephones and USF and Rural Utilities. It worked.
There's almost nowhere with no phone service.
We could do it again with fiber, but this would become a very different
business. Officially sanctioned monopolies with pricing and service
level set by bureaucrats. I would probably not enjoy that new world
order, but I'm saying if we (as a society) decided that was an important
goal there is already a blazed trail we could follow.

We simply are wasting money left and right with failed political
decisions and not one voting politician seems to really care. They
don’t even know what broadband mapping is yet.

It was a half ass quick build and they had their hands slap by the

Subject: [AFMUG] Public broadband failures
Does anyone know a compiled list of community broadband projects
that have received federal funds then failed or got sold off?
One of the counties in our service area is in the process of
'thinking about building a fiber network that we(they) will run
ourselves' We're looking for examples we can give them where the
government built then network, but was then unable to continue to
run it, or it didn't play out the way they expected.
Here in Illinois, another county just recently transferred their
BTOP funded Fiber network to a private entity because they were
convinced they didn't want to run it anymore (there's more to the
story, but that's the long and short from what I gather) There's
gotta be stories like this all over, has there been a list
compiled somewhere?
