@seanalan I *LOVE* these anti-capitalist infra projects.

Yes, municipalities should be the ones doing this work, but I understand that we're working in a capitalistic system, and as such, we need to make concessions when it comes to doing the work that government should be owning.

But I absolutely love the idea of breaking up the telco monopoly when it comes to internet services.

This makes me *so* happy.
