I'd argue for a well regulated, government backed, regional fiber-to-the-home network infrastructure company. With the aim of getting a fiber connection to every home - rural and urban. Present day cable and wire-line phone companies would have to change to sell something over the fiber instead. The copper telephone cables could also be moved under this company, allowing any company to sell old style phone and DSL services without going through the local monopoly provider.
