Re: Population density is good for deployment.
said by pnh102  :said by jersey7 :We've spend over a trillion dollars in Iraq already. Blah blah blah. More BDS. Nothing to see here, move along. I used the Iraq factor to prove my point about the government. Remember, countries like South Korea have governments that work with providers in getting out FTTH and other new technologies by helping in funding and encouraging these large-scale projects. I'm not saying we should follow the path of the Koreans. But what I am really saying is that we Americans can do much better that what we are doing now. |

We could make the same point about any other government expenditure. For example, we've spent $7 trillion on the "War on Poverty" since the mid 1960s, but we have far more people getting government benefits now than they did in the 1960s with no end in sight.

Americans are doing just fine. Plenty of residents in Jersey can get FiOS and/or Cablevision and those numbers increase every month.
The gov't has much bigger issues to tackle than giving telcos and cable operators billions to supply everyone BT and Pr0N connections. |

| Sure, in 5 years that same kid is costing the taxpayers even more money running a tab through our legal system. This way he's saving the taxpayers money by having less fingers to fingerprint!

You have proven nothing since you do not understand how government fund accounting works.
