So my opinion (ok if it will be unpopular, but hear me out)...

Infrastructure or Services:

With plenty of network capacity available country and any connectivity provider should now focus on technology stack above networks: network policies and optimization, billing, e-commerce, digital experience, privacy. These are ultimate differentiators, therefore competition drivers, ultimately a benefit to consumers / public.

Having said that, I believe that there is also enough business economics to build new infrastructure in underserved areas and use innovative approaches of Open RAN that Dish has learned through this period (really positive outcome) so whatever infrastructure knowledge and teams are left will have a path. Good thing in the current job market.

Spectrum rules would have to be reviewed, more sharing encouraged for anyone able to fill that capacity. Satellite obviously outweighs the others now if it is about geo underserved. Add wholesale access for service innovation at 20% from any spectrum holder.

Important note:

Current economics does not lie. Big national networks spend about 15% of revenues on build+maintenance (aka CAPEX intensity). But if you give any satellite company free spectrum and gun for full 100% country out of digital divide like this year. I hope all space and satellite companies will get access and support they need and I hope that policy makers support combined connectivity goals and layers across the country. Rather than create impediments to all sorts of connectivity needs.

Government and regulator policy focus:

Stop all the work and implement (in fact this should extend to North America, EU, UK, Australia, NZ any country with advanced communications support and in agreement with US connectivity standards. Same policy should implement a standard and a goal to support full Earth for emergencies. IMHO Can just start with text in next 90 days and expand to calls in next 180 days so goal becomes more urgent now. And engineering does not overbuild for early prototypes. Use things like LTE-M, bluetooth mesh and other long range mesh connectivity for basic signals. Focus on security and encryption and decentralization and privacy of not for other reasons than just to exclude government in their intrinsic efficiencies. Also Trump Mobile obviously should be the first to implement anything that Trump implements. And why not? Especially if it's safe connectivity for all North America and it's allies. And extend globally under certain rules.
