And thus the nail is squarely struck.
Private Industry has the goal of making money. So the most efficient way of making money will be pursued. This is typically by gaining a monopoly for a sought after service and charging as much as you can for it.
Governments have the option of changing their goals. For instance. Maybe a goal could be Healthy People. If that is your goal, then you use what resources are at your disposal to achieve that. Education, prevention, and therapy are available. Work out what gives you the most bang for available resources, and you wind up with more Healthy People.
So now Government has an option of rolling out their own network. Governments goals can now be Connected Population. They can spend more money for More and Better connection rather than Happy Shareholders.
And Yes, I will fix my sig now.
