:And it has been said it wuld only cost $150 bil to give everyone broadband. So in one year you get almost all the money you spent on it. So why isn't this getting done?
But that is an ESTIMATE put together by an organization that is pushing for expanded broadband. Not exactly a disinterested party. And about 90% of their estimated savings comes from new jobs. A number I have some doubts about.
Surely you can't think it's GOOD for America to be behind in broadband? I don't know you have doubts. I bet 100 years ago someone like you would say "I highly doubt this new fangled phone and electricity will bring new jobs"
