As much as I don't love the idea of a government-run internet the do a pretty great job with power, water, waste and other infrastructure where I live and the public companies are ok at best. Plus duplicating the infrastructure for every provider is just wasteful both economically and visually when you can see the wires above-ground..
Not only that but internet is becoming a necessity of modern life. The government should help everyone get access.
