This is stupid. FCC is becoming redundant and clearly

Kissing up to their political funders.

So they do not think that MicroSoft (God I'm actually defending them..ugh..) who has more than 30 *pinky in mouth* billion dollars, and Google with a Market Cap of over 400 Billion dollars can not scrape together 25 billion dollars on this venture.

I'm sure Cisco and Juniper are just wetting their pants when they think of the investement into a network like that. Not to mention the thousands of jobs that would be created just to install the network and later support it.

It's high time someone stepped in and competed with the Telco and Cableco's. All I have ever seen in the last 20 years are pockets of competition and otherwise a ingeniously divided up portions of markets nationwide.

If there was true competition we would see winners and losers. All we ever see is status quo.

No. As even the teaser at the top of the page makes clear, it's not about "can"; it's about "will". Although they are clearly capable of doing so, the FCC has reason to believe that they have no intention of doing so.
