So ISPs should be nationalized?



Sounds reasonable, since they don't seem to be viable as businesses.

And compensation to the current shareholders, for their evidently worthless companies, should be token at most.


Shouldn't a business have the right to fail? It seems like a reasonable technical requirement. I should be allowed to screw up, go bankrupt and close shop? Or should it be that I get to keep the profits but when I make a mess tax payers should help me?

It seems sensible to nationalize all critical infrastructure?
