My primary argument is that we need to solve the monopoly problem.
This.As long as decent connectivity is driven by physical connections on the rights-of-way (utility poles or under-street conduits) to endpoints (usually homes and offices), connectivity ownership is the key bottleneck.
Perhaps there's a future where wifi can provide the speed and reliability of fiber. Maybe that will lessen the monopoly problem, or maybe the FCC will change guidelines to simply move the bottleneck from phyical access to frequency licensing. (I'm not holding my breath here.)
As long as there is a bottleneck not under public control, monopoly is the problem we'll be solving.
