I don’t know if there’s easier ways to do this. But one idea I had was that the state guarantees a certain level of internet connectivity anywhere in the state. If someone isn’t getting that, the state loans them a starlink dish and they pay some fee cheaper than any internet provider. The internet providers would then be incentivized to finish running fiber throughout the state so they can continue receiving revenue.

Interesting. I was talking mostly about ratemaking but this also may have merit.

Well the problem I have isn’t the rate but I just can’t get anything better than 1 Mbps DSL. If they said “you can’t charge more than $10/Mbps” that might also work.
