Given that M$ and others must therefore rely on users having a good 
internet connection it surprises me that M$ has not built a business to 
install and maintain internet connections.  I know that this is so 
costly that Openreach can't guarantee FTTP everywhere in the UK 
(probably ever!) and even some populous areas can't get it for years yet 
- and this at a time when they are trying to discontinue POTS and have 
all phone calls carried over broadband.

M$ is extremely well off.  They should take over Openreach completely - 
it would probably amount to small change for them.

It does mean that a service which our government deems as essential for 
communication with officialdom would be provided by a foreign third 
party - but this appears to be true of water, electricity, and transport 
- to name but a few.
