Maybe even nationalize it? It’s a very important part of modern lives an communication. It is of national interest that it works, is affordable, and is efficient. Why would it not be nationalized?
At least you want to prevent roads being dug up by a range of companies installing duplicate infrastructure. Each house only needs 1 fiber (for data) to them… everything can come though that fiber… that also saves resources and allows for easier coordination and less ground works.
I dunno of nationalizing is needed, or if heavily regulating is enough. This is done with water system, high voltage and mid voltage power too… so the model is familiar.
At least separating the medium from the services and offering the medium under a FRAND model means that also the service providers will keep the medium provider honest and the service providers will compete with eachother for the customer. On quality, service, price and whatever they can think of.
And I fully realise the whole US does not nessecarily mean 1 infra owner… maybe split across regions/states is better… that’s for lawmakers to figure out.
