Build a Nationwide Fiber network

1. Run fiber on every telephone pole in America which will be maintained by a non-profit group.

2. You call up the ISP of your choice and they drop a line from the pole to your house.

3. You pay $20 for the fiber on the pole and another $15 to the ISP. Total $35.00 a month.

This makes to much sense though so it will never occur.

A few cities in Utah are trying to do this. Its been fought by Qwest on many fronts. The project also had some bad management in the beginning. But things are looking up now.
