One of the things that I find really encouraging is governments letting other industires to become ISP

>In Tennessee, for example, state laws allow publicly-owned electric utilities to provide broadband

I think this is the best way to solve last mile distribution. Electric companies already have the capacity to manage door to door to installations. Internet could become an additional source of revenue for them. They could lease the line from big providers and increase their reach. Win Win.
