I'm pretty conservatively politically but even I have come to the conclusion that a government owned monopoly on telecoms might be the only solution, especially given the criticality of internet access in the modern world.

To some extent it's a natural extension of the postal service.

I'm not sure why more politicians don't run on this platform.

That's a pretty good point (and argument), actually: "What's the fundamental difference between the post office and internet access?" I don't see one.
