Not contracted monopolies or direct city run, but like ‘IAAS’ seems to work. Much like how you see some small cell companies providing unique offers riding on one of the big carriers networks. Often those small carriers provide better deals, particularly when the carriers they ride on are forced to sell wholesale access at reasonable rates.
The city selling wholesale access funds the infrastructure maintenance and the carriers are better able to compete with each other since all they really have to do is set up a router and pay the city’s access rate fees.
I’d only be okay with that if the city provided a basic plan too. The ISPs have fucked around for far too long. It’s time for them to find out. Next up, power companies.
No. Just have the city run it. Contracted monopolies are still toxic.
