You could just add an extra tax to cover it and it would be cheaper than your Internet bill since it would be spread out amongst everyone.

Public utilities are cheaper than private ones. And it's not like there aren't city programs for low income. Cali is far from being the most progressive (in comparison to the rest of the world) and they have plenty of assistance programs for all possible utilities.
