How Net Neutrality Really Works

Power, Water and Sewer I can understand - but phone, cable, internet - we're not talking huge items here. While I will agree that the government should PERHAPS own this and allow at cost access, I don't see running more fiber/copper, etc into neighborhoods as physically restricted as water and sewer.
It's not as restrictive but once you don't have the right to do it, you don't have the right to do it. It's a black and white issue in many cases. No one wants twenty carriers running lines down the telephone poles. It gets very messy very quickly. And if you go underground then you are looking at digging up a whole city to let a new carrier in. It's not impossible, but it is just as effective as water or sewer in most cases and definitely as restrictive as power.
