I don't think that the government should become an ISP in order to create competition, but rather entrench a fiber optic line on both sides of the road, and then allow ISPs new & old to use the Gov. fiber to provide a service.
The idea would be to not create an ISP but to lower the cost of entry for new ISPs immensely to enter the scene to create competition.
What sort of fees should ISPs pay to utilize this government fiber infrastructure?
Should the government focus it's effort on rural America first as there would be fewer streets & sidewalk to dig up compared to cities, there are fewer underground utilities you would have to worry about, and that segment of the population has been greatly neglected when it comes to internet service?
How many men would you need to wire up your typical rural or small township completely within 1-2 weeks?
