Re: Isn't it obvious?

So if the big corporations have such a big influence on government, why again would you want this corrupt government running your broadband network?

Smaller government is more manageable and more directly accountable.

Also, if they're competing with SBC, they'll be less influenced by their lobbyists because loyalties will lie elsewhere (like to the people)

I agree. So why make it larger by giving it the power over a broadband network?

They problem is they cannot compete. This is because they are funded by the taxpayer who has little recourse--and because they have the money of the taxpayer they are not forced into being innovative. They can bury costs of rollout, upgrade, and maintenance in your taxes. Sure you can vote them out, but if a crooked politician has enough money they will get in office.
