Therefore the United States has a vested interest in NOT deploying FTTX to the masses in a fast paced nature. To say the cat is out of the bag as it refers to copyright law does nothing to either speed up or slow down ULTRA-wide broadband speeds to the home/consumer. This will develop slowly and the XX'AAs will hope to find a bunch of gullable senators whom they can line the pockets of and slip new copyright laws into bills they were never intended for to find ways of prosecuting copyright violations. Unless fiber deployments find a way of becoming dirt cheap.. The United States is in the unhappy position of lagging the world in this important infrastructure. As we find ourselves falling further and further behind.. Worldwide backbones will transition from from 10gige to 100gige multi-linked fibers while the US will remain a bottleneck country and have to be embarrassed in the eyes of the world to stop pinching pennies and deploy the network for the next 50-100 years immediately. The telcos and cablecos will be hoping for some kind of regulatory handouts as they did in yesteryears from state governments. And we'll be so gullable that we'll probably throw them a bone or two (in 2012). Maybe in 2012 we can actually start doing something about getting the LAST of the dialup lines over to broadband instead of talking about it. Sometimes I like to fire up the dialup modem over my FIOS digital phone service.. it's cute.. ah, nostalgia..
