Giving municipalities (cities, counties) the funds to build out their own fiber networks is good.
Assuming the big ISPs don’t sue or lobby to make it against the law for those cities to or counties to then build it.

ms_lane@lemmy.world 7 months agoI’m not sure why people are commenting that I think fiber isn’t real?
Of course it’s real.
But maybe you’re young- Comcast, AT&T, etc, have been given multiple tranches of money since the early 1990s to deliver a nationwide fiber network in the US, they’ve never delivered more than 0.1% of it.
Giving them more money, won’t make it happen.

Giving more money to Comcast and AT&T to do nothing, is not good, it’s corporate welfare.

Now, everything else you said I either knew, or agree with the assertion.
Btw, I’m definitely not young.
