Well the reason why the hard assets are corporate owned is because those entities mastered the most efficient method of infrastructure build, they don’t own it for no reason. The locales had a need, the corporations would compete for contracts based off the lowest cost and highest efficiency. Maintenance DID become an issue, as it always does. In regards to the spectrum licenses and rights, yes, there’s a lot of thought to be had there. Same with air rights (the space above your property). The federal government will usually tilt towards what’s “best” for the masses (or the ultra-wealthy), & it can be a hard fight in the states, where such a huge space is subject to the same federal governance for efficiency and communal-sharing purposes.
