Portland, OR | a policy would be helpful to the united states at this point taking into consideration the interests of the businesses, as well as the public, the united states can come up with a solid policy for broadband service. business should have the opportunity to make healthy profits, and citizens should have access to the tools of the modern world.
issue as i've interpreted it is the citizens want it for almost free, and businesses want to maximize profits. in order to accomplish their goals, they have put themselves at odds. now large amounts of money are being spent, funding yet more groups interests (politicians, talking heads, subject matter experts all want to make a living too), instead of being invested into an agreeable solution to the issues of the first two parties.
in a fashion, the conflicting interests help support our society, however, i don't get the impression that people desire this behavior as being the preferred method of accomplishing anything.
i suspect if each side got over trying to get the most out of the other they could work to a satisfactory conclusion. the united states as a community basically agrees we should be the best country on earth forever. broadband is a tool to success in the modern world. there are many applications still being realized. we'd be better off with businesses that realized healthy returns on their investments and a populace with experience and access to the economic/social/educational resources available on the planet.
all we really have right now is the government to operate as a mediator and advocate for both parties. just got to use it.
