It's very important to have the base/grounds/fundamentals in a good way to support things building on top. If you have shitty network your application will be shitty, too. If you have bad roads you can't have a fast and reliable shipping of goods between companies. You have to invest in the base to have an enviornment which allow to grow and evolve.

In Germany there was a lot of discussion about fiber Internet build out and if we need it. At some point the discussion changed to "Yes, we need it as the base" and only discussion about you pays for it.

For me personally I feel more comfortable and safe with a working base (aka Goverment/Community/Society). And a lot of people working hard to have the base up and running to just let some egiost running their company and proudly saying "It's me who worked hard to build this great company and I'm the greatest man on earth". But of course he could only do that with the base.
