How to Nationalize the Internet in Canada

Worked out for the norse, internet infrastructure is owned by the municipalities, like waterpipes, all fiber to the last farm and tel-companies just rent it.

Markets just dont work on infrastructure necessary for the public. They usually devolve into monopolies/oligopolies or scaming the public through serial privatization. Wasnt it london, were the privatization of the public water supply failed three times?

Do the Norse have a large land mass with great distances between population centers and many small towns in between rugged mountains, rivers and forest?

I just checked a map. I disagree.

That being said, coverage outside of key population dense areas isn't particularly great. Not that there are many people there to complain about it...

Right they do have those things, I should have been more clear, the scale of Canada including all those things is much greater and more difficult to deal with though.
