    Yes, it is rather backwards for a handful of companies to own entire blocks of IP addresses just because. The infrastructure was massively funded by public dollars, it should be publicly owned.

      A fair point indeed, but that’s not how it is. Public dollars were funneled one-way into private infra, in many cases.
