A government run telecommunication system would qualify as interference in the economy.
It would also qualify as a interference in the economy if the government passed the bill and thereby affected local businesses and startups who need more then TWC provides.

So in this context your Rand quote is useless and wrong.

That and the fact that quoting Ayn Rand in general is idiotic unless your just trying to prove you agree with that line of extremist thought about business/government.

Exactly. Even Ayn Rand didn't agree with her own rhetoric. She didn't call for abandonment of zoning laws and building codes ("interference" of otherwise free-market economies) because she personally benefited from them.

Heck, she even opposed the creation of the Libertarian Party. Why? She knew that taking her rhetoric to its logical conclusion would prove it to be absurd. She preferred it remain a faction within the Republican party, where it could play both sides of the fence (hyperbole to criticize moderate Rs, but never actually taken seriously).
