Yeah, that's not how you upgrade public infrastructure, that's how you give 200 billion to some investors .. Australia took a slightly different approach .. well at least we tried to until the LNP insisted on paying the telcos more money so NBNCo could build a shittier product that then had to be fixed. Even with those shenanigans we still got a public broadband infrastructure for less than half of the 200 billion hegseth wants to make fuel prices even higher ..
