This is legally problematic, as others have posted already. It would amount to nationalization of private infrastructure.
I personally favor a different solution: liberalize frequency allocation and open up quite a bit more of the radio band for last-mile local/regional wireless.
The cost of building out infrastructure rises exponentially as you approach the last mile, for obvious reasons. Allowing the last mile to be wireless opens the field for quite a bit more competition. You'd have a whole raft of local and regional Internet service startups.
