Sorry, but I don't agree with your premise in this case. How is adding another competitor a bad thing? If Amazon offers Internet via LEO satellites, and SpaceX does the same, and you have your regular telecoms using copper lines, and some wireless carriers offering 4G, and perhaps some community operators offering wireless -- how is all of this competition worse than a utility being provided by the government, which has absolutely no incentive to compete -- and can by law stop new entrants into the market?
