Re: Tell Me
said by OkieFiber  :A national broadband policy is analogous to a national highway transportation bill. Really? Interstates are needed to drive from one side of the country to the other, and can be used by everyone in the country.
The broadband access problem usually refers to a last mile access or black hole problem, the primary hurdles involving local rights of way to private homes or businesses. If you want to talk about having broadband in airports, train stations, etc., that is one thing, but subsidizing broadband access to private homes or businesses is of little benefit except to the people in those homes or businesses. |
