All the other things you mentioned would be accomplished by a national agency that built the infrastructure and licensed it out to ISPs who wanted to provide service over it, all at lower cost due to the net zero expense goal.
Or would you prefer that these corps suck the life out of the US economy for the next 50 years?
I'll pass on your bifurcation and leave wondering how on earth you think LTE wireless internet access is going to ruin the economy (while the government, naturally, would make us whole).
