I'm sure you can cite examples of governmental bad behavior that are as neglectful or worst, but this behavior was by Comcast, not the government. In fact, in this case, the very existence of the Internet Essentials program in the first place was because of a government-imposed condition before approving a merger (although Comcast now continues it despite the specific provision having lapsed).
