    I’m disputing that they already have money to cover the costs

    Federal subsidies to telcos were not intended to provide Internet service for free, but to reduce costs.

    You could argue that a subsidy should reduce prices relative to what they should have been, had no subsidy existed.

    But you cannot argue that pricing should be decoupled from consumption as a result of that.
