K-Street Mafia will do anything to stop national broadband.
Club Gov's K-Street Mafia won't do anything for the average citizen. I hate to repeat myself but I am sure that it costs a fraction per mile to install fiber along a road when compared to the cost of building the road. If there were a discussion by our government about creating a fiber infrastructure the lobbyists for the broadband cartel would do whatever they needed to, to prevent the construction of the network. With the exception of Verizon the current Telecom and CATV ISP's are satisfactory with no new wires and mediocre service. Remember when the government attempted to create the Tennessee Valley Authority to deliver electricity to rural America, the commercial power industry fought T.V.A.'s creation tooth and nail. If it was not for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, most farmers would still be lighting their homes with Kerosene Lamps.

I haven't priced it recently, but if Kerosene is an oil based product (as I think it is) just imagine the cost to light your home enough to cook and read ($3 / gallon ?)!
