I’m very naive when it comes to these sorts of things. What would we do to help out? Would it be “we’ll fund up to 50$, but the charge is capped to 75$”?
It seems like once you’re going to distort the market, pricing becomes difficult? What about: if there’s 4 serious competitors, then we’ll give you a 50$ subsidy, otherwise, we’ll tell the providers the minimum plan, and that minimum is free to a chunk of the population? Or, do you get municipalities to roll out municipal internet?
