When the dust settles, it’ll be just like Ma Bell in 1975: There will be the “Internet Company” just like there was the Phone Company, with a probable ‘bonus’ of an extra “National Internet Corporation” modeled on the BBC.

Maybe this time we can learn from our mistakes and nationalize such industries instead of breaking them up and forcing needless competition.
The competition should be for the job. If someone else can do the job better, then you get replaced. It’s a simple concept, lol. But capitalists have convinced people that public ownership is bad. That way, people spend enough to keep the businesses operational, in addition to funneling as much money as possible to the owners.
