      The last mile is a really expensive. Even a well intentioned company that wants to keep it’s prices low has difficulty building that last mile out. There just aren’t enough Americans who actually want government infrastructure like that. If enough people wanted them I firmly believe it would happen.

          Monopolies don’t exist every place. There are several companies in my area offering high speed Internet. One is in suburbs all around me but not in mine. They also have the cheapest costs. I called them asking when they might be expecting to my suburb and they said that my town (pop 60,000) will be one of the last because of how difficult it’ll be to get to every house. A different company moved in pay year and they cost more than the first one. State governments shouldn’t be allowed to block municipal Internet.
