Re: Why not wait for gov't to pay them or use gov't fiber?
Why should any company attempt to reinvest in their future when they can just wait for some kind of "bailout".
The government should not be giving any of these duopoly or monopoly companies a dime. What they should be doing is giving them a drop dead date until they forfeit the networks to someone that can and will invest in the infrastructure.
If the feds want private companies to invest in fiber, then they need to make it clear very soon that they will not be doing either of the 2 scenarios I listed above and that the cable & telcos are on their own.
