Of course the problems are solvable if you have desirable incentives. But as Pournelles Iron Law of Bureaucracy points out that the incentives to solve the problem are ALWAYS eventually replaced to preserve and grow the bureaucracy. And that’s why a universal, government solution is doomed to fail.

Funny you mention bad rural Internet considering that’s a problem technology and competition is about to solve.
