Unsurprisingly, Chairman Pai opposed the idea this morning:

I oppose any proposal for the federal government to build and operate a
nationwide 5G network. The main lesson to draw from the wireless sector’s
development over the past three decades—including American leadership in
4G—is that the market, not government, is best positioned to drive
innovation and investment. What government can and should do is to push
spectrum into the commercial marketplace and set rules that encourage the
private sector to develop and deploy next-generation infrastructure. Any
federal effort to construct a nationalized 5G network would be a costly and
counterproductive distraction from the policies we need to help the United
States win the 5G future.

If you thought municipalities building broadband networks was a great idea,
you are going to love this even more.  I'm not opposed to municipal
broadband in all cases, just most of the time their business cases are
fantasies and lose money.

"A Trump administration proposal to nationalize a portion of the nation’s
wireless network in order to combat threats from China in 5G raises many
technical, logistical and political concerns, including a fierce debate
over the proper role of government in business.

The bottom line: The proposal calls for aggressive government involvement
in the private wireless market, representing a significant shift in U.S.
industrial policy that would hugely disrupt the business plans of America's
largest telecom and technology companies."
