This is a bit of an old trope. "Size matters". I'm not defending the American ISP abominations like interference in allowing municipal fiber to be built, and denying access to poles so new competitors can't access public infrastructure to build a competing service without unreasonable barriers to entry. All this anti-competitive crap... Right on, I'm with you.

However... America is ENORMOUS compared to any European state... and mostly unoccupied. And our government only recognizes the decaying Telco system as a public utility that we all need access to...

Nevermind. I don't understand either. It's just fully stupid. The size will make it cost more... Not recognizing it's worth it... For that there are no excuses.
