said by Skippy25:Be as sarcastic as you want, but this is exactly how it should be here: 1 network that services all people that any company can offer service over to provide any service the customer wants. Size is not a factor. It may take longer to implement, but it certainly can be implimented by doing it city wide, then county wide, then statewide, then country wide. Cost would certainly be much higher, but certainly doable in this country when it can pully hundreds of billions of dollars out of it ass for a war or whatever it deems important. Also, as you get the large cities online, they start producing revenue and that helps offset the cost of the rural and more expensive expansion.
No offense, but you're talking out your ass.
There is no way that this could be implemented here.... The government can't do it's job now, how do you expect them to rollout a trillion dollar fiber optic network? And there isn't a demand for it.. I like the current system.. It's 2007 and I have a fiber optic line delivering 20mbps/5mbps, digital tv and digital phone to the side of my house for $138/month.... I don't want or need the government to get involved..
With time, all of America will have some sort of access to broadband. America is a big place, if you can't get fiber in hicktown then move to a place that you can get it in... Nobody is going to run fiber to a town of 200 people.
