Until a line breaks and you discover it costs money to have someone fix it. Or a router gets attacked be someone evil and now you don't have internet. Or ... There are a lot of costs to running internet.
I don't know how the costs compare to what AT&T is charging. I doubt you do either.
You could just add an extra tax to cover it and it would be cheaper than your Internet bill since it would be spread out amongst everyone.
Liberals: Tax it!
Also Liberals: What about the poor people!
I'm poor af but I'm fine with a $0.02 tax to maintain an infrastructure so uh... I think you got your teams mixed up there
