Re: if that's plenty... Easy, its called government subsidies or in some cases the government building it. If our government put the same passion into Internet growth (rightly or wrongly) that the Internet superpowers do we would have the same result here. In 1928 President Hoover said, "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." In today's world we need President to say, "Affordable Healthcare, Oil Independence, and a Gig of Bandwidth for every home." Or something along those lines.
Unfortunately, for us geek's on this website about half of the Americans that would hear that slogan wouldn't understand what a Gig is, let alone elect someone who is going to give it to them.

Look at the effort the industry puts into STOPPING local governmental buildouts by buying off higher level judges and lawmakers. No, do not blame the government, except for not telling the the Telco and Cableco to take a hike and get to work or we will do it ourselves.
