One of the problems with that approach is that a wholesale monopoly selling to various competitive retail ISPs will still end up capturing all the economic surplus.

So you end up having to regulate how much profit that wholesale monopoly is allowed to make.

The other option is to have the wholesaler owned by the govt, then the economic surplus can come off everyones tax bill.
