One needs to look at this as an investment. What will the return in investment be? We used the Cold War to justify the Interstate highway system. Future Economic growth will be based on knowledge, and collaboration. A well connected population is a prerequisite for living in the information age.

One needs to be careful not to invest in new technology too soon - technology is immature and expensive.

One also needs to be careful not to invest too late or others will have already figured out how to exploit the technology.

Seems to me now is the time to adopt an Interstate highway type initiative to wire the nation. 100 Mbps is easily doable over fiber and is well suited to massive data transfers and will easily support HDTV.

Once the bit delivery mechanism in place private enterprise will be able to exploit it creating new business models and great wealth.
