That is true, however President Bush made a telecommunications act that requires all areas to have broadband by (guessing, 2009). That same act delegates that television be converted to iptv in a couple of years. Not only is this act in effect, it also rewrites and overrides some rules of capitalism.
P.S. Keep in mind that I am not trying to start a flame war on bush, I am completely sick of the lack of support for government and I am a republican.
