That's why they should make becoming an ISP something much more achievable legally, and not try to pay existing ISPs for something "universal". Then the problem is going to be solved really quick, almost as quick as laying cables.
Supply and demand are real, because they provide motivation for both sides, the consumer and the provider. Not the case with such bills.
