    I have no doubt they can do it.

    I don’t think they should be in control of our communication though. I don’t trust them with my privacy or not to use it to exert political control over the people.

    I want regulations. A government willing to set rules and to enforce those rules.

      I would rather have the government run it with heavy oversight on privacy and fair distribution of the services.

      Businesses have already proven they cannot be trusted.

        The problem here is neither can really be trusted long term. The main advantage I see to governments is that there would be forced transparency.
