| time to rewire America
IMO, the problem stems from the breakup of AT&T in the mid-80's.
The telcos today spend all of their time, money and energy in marketing and the latest get-rich-quick schemes. They need to invest for the long-haul.
What we need is a few billion $ to see if the existing copper wires can be used somehow.
If not, it's time to pick the next pipeline (fiber? coax?) and rewire America. And that's every home, not just the high density areas.
Just my two cents,
Joe

| It would take The Great Flood to make this happen. Big-name corporations like Comcast aren't willing to lay down the big bucks to make that happen. Of course Verizon is already taking this as far as they can by laying a solid fiber network with strong backbone.
I think the federal government, FCC, and others are making it harder to make this completely happen. We need to look at, for example, South Korea. The government spent money on this, and now the entire country is covered in true broadband that will handle most anything they can throw at it.
What's your opinion?

I want fiber! All I can get is satellite and a fixed wireless ISP but trees and elevation is currently a problem...
