It does not add any net benefit to the economy of the region or country. Only when new infrastructure lowers the cost enough to become meaningful in the global economy is it worth doing.

Why do you think Canadians sneak across the border to buy gas and cigarettes and beer? It's 1/3 the price! :uhh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17535674 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 11:50:04 EDT Re: got an idea http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17535529 Jamuka : Yea so we can have another tax last for 100 YEARS. It would be ok as long as when ALL the fiber was finally installed the tax would be repealed, but we know that never happens just like paying for the Spanish-American War has never gone away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17535529 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 11:14:21 EDT Re: got an idea http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17535339 Maxo :

Why not add a Fiber Tax for everyone so we can get Fiber installed everywhere!
Can of worms. That's why.
It would be nice, but isn't one of those things that benefits everyone, like sidewalks and roads.

Ack, I didn't notice this is a brianiscool See Profile thread. Get me out!
