1. The issue is that the government gave away a ton of money without clear goals and deadlines. Private companies aren't an arm of the government that will do it's job for it. Retroactively adding these restrictions seems bad, as you've now changed the terms of the deal. The government got scammed and they should take the loss and do better next time.

2. The result being the same does not mean the goal is the same. I doubt ISPs are rubbing their hands and laughing at the struggle of minorities. It's simply not their job to care about them. See 1.

Further, there is nothing wrong with national ISPs as long as we don't put up road blocks for municipal ISPs.
