&quot;Our US congress had the chance to fix this back in 1990s and they screwed up with enforcing it properly. We could&#x27;ve had a better pure fiber-based national build out but it didn&#x27;t work out.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not familiar enough with the industry to have an opinion on this, but it sounds very odd that a private corporation is so tied to government that it can&#x27;t innovate on its own?  How does this work?  And how did it end up like this?  I guess what I&#x27;m after is an ELI5 on this last part of your comment :)
