Tech's Push to Be the Next Public Utility

Amazon didn't ask permission to become critical infrastructure. They built AWS until enough of the economy depended on it that regulation became almost impossible. You can't turn off the internet's backbone. Now the same playbook is running with AI and data centers. Build the infrastructure everywhere. Create dependency at scale. Make yourself essential to healthcare, finance, government, and defense before anyone agrees you should be. Then negotiate from a position where shutting you down costs than regulating you.
