I am open to a discussion on certain sectors being tighter regulated (not necessarily nationalised)
Would unregulated capitalism provide fibre to everyone, or just cream off the profitable bits waiting for the state to subsidise the rest to the tune of billions? And when the state does where do the profits go? Where’s the genuine competition for end users?
