I look forward to the responses from the followers of Karl Marx, with
there their usual responses about how the government should be paying for it all.
Never said that government should supply it all, but government should be part of the mix, supplying it where the incumbents and cablecos won't or refuse to tread and by calling it a utility. Which is what it is, especially since the incumbents have been charging USF on it, which was supposed to be used to expand the footprint of a utility.
It is time for government to get in the faces of the telcos and cablecos and tell them to get off their duff. We got a country to run here, and in 2007, broadband/baseband technologies are a big part of it.
Face it; there has been too much smoke and mirrors.
