The utility doesn't need to advertise. Our government needs them to
advertise. It's called propaganda.

The sad fact is it's an almighty cock-up. Even if they manage to
"finish" what they've planned, it's unlikely to meet current needs, let
alone the exponentially-increasing demand. Then they'll try to find a
buyer and discover that the market value of what they've built is about
a quarter of what it cost to build.
Changes that they made to the network architecture will make the
infrastructure so unstable and unreliable that a future government will
have to spend more fixing it than it would have cost to do it right in
the first place.
