This is the way! And not just fiber, but infrastructure in general.

It’s basically combining the short-sighted greed of corporations with the long term potential energy of infra. The combo is incredibly powerful.

Governments typically suck at ops, pricing etc, but digging and drawing lines in the sand they can be pretty good at. Corporations without competition always suck, it’s like having an athlete without a sport. Even if they start out fine, they deteriorate on the couch into an agitated and lazy asshole, monopolizing the remote.

In many parts of Europe, this model is working so well that there are 2-3 competitors that are all good and cheap. Unlike (here) in the US where there is only one, depending on your address, which sucks and is incredibly overpriced.
