I suspect there's a profit motive in this and further research will dispel altruistic motives for this give-away. Follow the money...
The government continues to change the definition of existing laws to fit their narrative (e.g., is Uber a "Common Carrier?"). While Net Neutrality has not caused the sky to fall ...what's it done for your cable bill or your cable box? Again, rules originally written for telephone companies were interpreted to apply to land-based and wireless Internet services. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) developed the system of protocols used to link computers (i.e., TCP/IP). This was not a nonprofit or global effort. But's let's move beyond the 1970s and say that the internet was developed for the betterment of the world and redefine "public" and/or "government" as "globally inclusive."
Since when is privatization a good thing?
