Basically the idea that these companies built the infrastructure on their own is false. Taxpayers funded and continue to fund large swaths of it.

I've got no problem with the tax breaks that Google Fiber is getting from our city. The product they are delivering is more than worth it as opposed to many other tax breaks that never benefit the community and only benefit the business.
