Broadband is only a few years old

Maybe that's what they meant and some people still can't get it. I think the real internet won't start until we all can get 100mbps which the ISP's are doing their best to drag their feet on.

Who would be so stupid as to invest $1000-4000 per customer to support unlimited bandwidth, and then try to pay for it at $35/customer?

You?

The Last mile would cost about $100 billion to build but would likely last for decades. Copper has been used for 100 years. It would cost about $100 billion to do and would be paid for by the Federal Government and the 50 states.

Going by your numbers of $35 x 12 x 30 = $12,600 - $4000 = $8600.

So the Fed could even see a profit.
