There used to be all these huge public work programs 60-100 years ago as infrastructure in america was bettered with quality of living greatly increasing and the government supplied much-needed jobs to a depressed market... America definately has the resources to provide wifi to major cities. Maybe this needs to start as a federal project in America's major cities and then slowly expand to suburbs and rural areas. Oh and uh, durpa durpedy durp.
That is exactly the WRONG approach. What needs to happen is for the government to GET OUT OF THE WAY and let private enterprise do what it does best. Goverments are not known for doing ANYTHING correctly. Why hand this over to them?

Customers of public-owned utilities have done pretty well...I'd say the same would happen with wifi.
