It's kinda huge, the US broadband infrastructure outside big cities sucks. I'm wondering why the media isn't reporting this? Too boring?

Because this was also done in the 90's & the corporations mostly either pocketed the cash or used it to buy smaller competitors.

I've been in communications for almost 30 years. My company's potential customers went from around 50 to 4 during that time period.

I guess I was reading too hastily and conflated media attention with public outcry.

Yeah, fair enough.
