How will the isps get another government grant to ~~roll out the next bit of outdated tech~~ outright refuse to update any infrastructure and perform stock buybacks instead?

FTFY. Google the Connect America Fund if you want your blood pressure to spike. ISPs are notorious for taking taxpayer money and doing fuck-all with it.
