The internet is incredibly important to the modern society. Letting private companies only motivated by filling the pockets of the ~~old farts~~ shareholders run it is a bad idea. It's time we consider Internet infrastructure like any other type of infrastructure.
I find it wild we don't nationalize the banks we bail out with trillions of our tax dollars. Each and every one of us should be getting dividends on their profits, we should own half of the banks by now
