Yeah, I know what you mean. I just did it the easy way - dropped out of university, eventually move to Montreal where it was almost *difficult* to be a programmer and not end up at a game studio. Thankfully the industry grew in Toronto as well and I was able to move back after some lovely years there.

See, that's the thing. Cities often have easement and right-of-way authority, if not ownership.A city can build-out whatever they want, and rent it to whomever.

But that interferes with the cable and telco's revenue streams. Loma Linda California tried it and was fought hard.

The vendors also objected. If you make zillions of dollars selling fiber to telcos, and telcos don't want pesky municipalities getting in their way, the fiber companies will ally with the telcos. Telcos don't want to fight with two thousand municipalities, they want to do one big bribe/campaign contribution to just a handful of people that they can write the legislation for. Makes it easier.

Monopoly isn't the right word; the right word is: Cabal.

"We need to call it Super Intelligence!" Trump demanded, waggling a finger at an iPod.

Lol, this is the president some people are willing to tolerate for a party that promises you'll have lower taxes (while only giving them to the upper class) and less thinking about trans people or something. Communism! Boo! It's quite astounding.
