Private industry handling a public utility is never a good idea, see: Texas power grid
internet should be treated like water and power and handled by the city.
The biggest problem in Texas is greedy politicians (Republicans) making it worse.
The government should never be in control of a means of free speech. You know who has Government-controlled internet?
Russia Iran China N Korea India Some EU countries Turkey Etc.
Which eu countries ?
Now I'm curious too
Right because having private companies in control of a means of free speech has always worked out fine
