The problem is that often they have been granted monopoly status but rarely are they held to the same standards that other monopoly utilities (power, gas, landline phone, etc.) are held to, such as requiring universal coverage within their service area rather than just the most profitable parts, approval required from some governing board before rate hikes, etc.
She's (sadly) more qualified than most politicians on tech issues. At least she knows what a mail server is. Many still don't even use email.
Trump would build a firewall and try to get the hackers to pay for it.
Soon the airlines will, like the women's fashion industry, assume that the average person is an 80lb size 0 and they will expect everyone to conform to those unrealistic standards our past for multiple tickets based on how many multiples of this you weigh.
The Great Leader doesn't want to conform to imperialist standards, so his new standard is 13 minutes off hours, and its days are 27 hours long so his people can work longer hours. Also, the Gread Leader made Earth rotate slower, to match is new time standard. On His birthday, as his PR agency announced, Earth will stand still for an hour out of respect for the Great Leader. This is all true, I kid you not.
I saw a report the other day of NK having sent an astronaut to Saturn who landed and planted the NK flag and collected some rock samples.
Neat trick being a gas giant.
Short Version:
Customer: I would like to sign up for 2Gbps fiber service.
Comcast: Sorry, It's not available in your location.

Comcast: Doesn't matter.
Or, make the cure hideously expensive like they are doing with some of the new hepatitis medications that cost about half a million dollars for the complete regimen.
I really don't get along with my neighbors well enough to try to sell them on switching to cable. Also (more importantly) the main reason I called Charter in the first place was my wife wanted to cut cable/internet expenses and Charter was more expensive than our current satellite and DSL provider.
Actually they told me that if I could get one neighbor to sign up they would waive the installation fees, but at that point I was sufficiently pissed off at them for not being willing to run cable 1 block.
if they are the first out of the gate they will get the most customers if they actually follow through with their changes. They really have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving the customer the features that are requested the most.
If these guys really wanted more customers they wouldn't have quoted me a price of nearly $3000 to run cable less than 1 block to my house. (which would potentially get up to 5 of my neighbors as customers as well.)

That's Systemd/Linux. Linux is only the kernel you know.
I suspect they will roll out one installation in each state they do business in and declare the project complete.
