  • Yeah hard sell in the US. Nationalising infra is the way forward. Laying new cable and ducts in a city is wildly expensive and not always possible due to the need for new ROWs.

    We nationalised our telco infra here in Aus. Our conservatives tried to stop it and ended screwing up the deal and making it cost 30 to 60 billion more than it should have, but conservatives are mostly incompetent so kinda expected.


  • The question still stands, does your city have enough capital? Fibre is expensive to lay at a city scale, the equipment to connect is inexpensive to buy and maintain, you also need to ensure compliance with local telecoms regulation, you’ll also have to deal with competition from existing established and experienced competition.

















  • We could ask the same question about the beetrooter, Angus Taylor, Pauline Hanson or any number of openly corrupt, mostly incompetent conservative politicians. I’m not from NSW but holy hell that Barilaro idiot seems like a real corrupt piece of shit but still managed to convince one of the richest states in the nation to make him Premier.
