Good explainer vid: https://youtu.be/CIEQPwf9MHY

tldr: one town in the US did it and it became an economic miracle, big telcos noticed and have set up lobbying and advertising infra to ensure it never happens.

The video doesn't explain much. At the end, it says this:

> "The average voter doesn't understand how these systems work so there is little risk for [state] lawmakers in siding with these companies."

The million-dollar question is why those lawmakers are siding with these companies when the economic miracle case exists right in front of their eyes. The answer to that question is the real explainer.
