Love that while she praises municipal efforts she also makes clear that
they're no substitute for nationalization.

To counter the FCC’s attack on net neutrality, we need to start treating
the Internet like the public good it is.

The Internet was initially a product of public spending. The U.S. Defense
Department first conceived it

in
the 1960s, following a period of feverish technological competition with
the Soviet Union. By the early 1990s, the government ceded control of the
Internet to the private sector, which had the putative capacity to host its
rapid growth. Since then, the transition to corporate stewardship has
stratified the digital landscape and isolated disenfranchised populations.
