There's the issue, they did not build it, AT&T did, and it was taken off AT&T. They did not borrow money to build it, it was paid for with taxpayer money. The cable companies paid for theirs with private money. ISP owners should have access to the wiring that their tax money helped build. It should be public, not for the private use of a money grabbing, unethical monopoly hiding behind some paid off politician.
