CJ, Barriers to entry are high. Else you'd see a lot more competition. The barriers to entry are also high in hardware and semiconductors, but you don't see Obama acting like he can do a better job than Intel, Qualcomm, Apple, or Google. When you decide that government should intervene in anything deemed a "major infrastructure component," you can argue that ANY industry could fall into that category. As for regulations hampering high-speed Internet access, there are already a ton that bogs down the building of infrastructure like the laying of cable, building cell phone towers, and compliance with the FCC. That in itself raises the already high barriers of entry. Liberals of course love regulation like this because (a) they think big corporations can afford it, and (b) they care more about sucker fish and field mice than they do about broadband access for everyone.
