Sure, if you don't consider the long history of competition providing cheaper options "evidence". But FWIW anyway, you could buy phones ad-hoc in the US already and guess what? And a couple of years after GPO became BT, I picked up a privately produced phone for £10.
Forget the cure for cancer even. This was someone's not having to take a second job, someone's chance to head home a little early and spend time with their kids, someone's medication to make their mother's life earlier, someone's chance to replace the dangerous badly worn brakes, someones opportunity to move their newborn out of a mold-ridden apartment.
I'm shocked they have not sent in Seal Team Six to raid the embassy, kick in the door and arrest Assange right there, and then transport him away by helicopter where he'll "disappear".
Easily with just a little rewriting of your premise
It never ceases to amaze me how a government can blatantly waste money on something and there's absolutely no way for the subjects to do anything about it.
Welcome to the new bosses, same as the old bosses.
If we'd done that with the telcos and the cell networks when we should have, things would be much better now
How old are you? I remember when the post office ran the phone system. You had to had their phone, pay rental for it, you only had a choice of colors unless you wanted to pay £400 for one of six speciality phones, service was crap, international calls were out of the stratosphere and many other things besides. Things are a long way from perfect but if you want to see bad, give it to the government.
It doesn't matter. The roads are not built just for people to have fun on. As automated cars become more feasible, that kind of use *will* be squeezed out. As someone who motorcycles and drives for fun, I have to say that that's unfortunate but it seems inevitable.
Telecommuting should have decimated* traffic already. Unfortunately it hasn't. I'm enthusiastic for the opportunities of automated cars (not so much for what that implies for motorcycling) but I'm concerned that it will have a lot of unnecessary obstacles.
This is no surprise to anyone who's studied Bitcoin in the slightest. Bitcoin mining, speculation and investment has many precedents in many other operations (currency trading, traditional mining etc). What's nice about Bitcoin is that when they want their slice, it has to be transferred explicitly. The can't just (mis)appropriate and divvy it out to wealthy bankers by the magic of inflation and the Federal Reserve.

I don't even know where my servers are (someone else's job). But still I have to come into the office each day. Madness.
"Devastation" has negative connotations which are not really appropriate. "Vastly reduced" would be better but lacks the required degree of hyperbole.
I do not propose, I merely observe.
Unless you mean that at first, only the privileged could afford motor vehicles then still no.

Taxes. Someone earned that money.
They may not be very good at finding a cure for cancer but I bet they'd be great at putting the fries in the little cardboard box.
Tell me that again when you're lying in bed in agony because the morphine just isn't doing it any more.
I'd like to see a study funded by those who care rather than with money extorted from taxes.
Conclusion: "Well, duh..."

Or The Laser Rangers.

Just out of interest, have we heard what the people who put up the bail think about things?
And the dog ate the legislation.
You should have gone with Tight-IRA. Tight Irishmen are a lot easier to come by.
And if you want to back up or jump forward, bye-bye buffer.

Not that I know of. They did try and shoehorn their own google groups in alongside it though.
I have a table that wobbles.
Not so.

I believe the line between Pensacola and Jackson Fl damaged in Katrina has still not been reopened.

*Yes, we all know the origin of "decimated".
And vice versa.
