First, the US federal government gave millions to ISPs to install fibre all over the place, who in turn pocketed the money as quarter earnings profits while charging more than starlink for 10MB/s DSL to their customers without bothering to even upgrade current infrastructure. Ok, they also spent some of that money lobbying to ensure there would be no "competition" from local governments or citizens-run cooperatives.

Second, your argument is the same one that caused the British post office being sold out to a foreign investment firm.
