Yeah these are essential services now and since we can't have real competition lets just nationalize all the carriers and turn them into a crown corporation.

    Nationalize the infrastructure (cell towers / fibre network) and make everyone compete on service. No more "You don't have network? I have network." bullshit -- one cell network, with double the capacity, double the coverage, and everyone competes for customers on price and service and device support (iPhone/Android/watches/data cards/etc.), and everyone pays the same wholesale price for voice/minutes and data/gigs. Everyone gets 5G. Your only government requirement for starting a new cell company is a $1m non-transferable license/access fee that helps pay for expanding/upgrading the network.
