Yeah, my bad, I messed up my comment, I was editing it as you wrote yours.
I meant to say "capitalism" not the free market.
The socialist broadband was created in those communities because the privately owned broadband was so bad.
But yeah, you're right, there's still a market.
AFAIK, no one has died yet because of it.
