Re: Good Is that pnhwhatever spouting crap again? I can't tell, except from people quoting him, as I have him on ignore. But if he is saying that government can do nothing to improve broadband, I would respectfully disagree. The state of Idaho implemented a proposal where the State contracted several providers to install broadband infrastructure in numerous small municipalities, and paid 1/2 the cost. In Qwest's territory, DSL was installed in at least 30 central offices, and numerous remotes (I don't know what the stats are for the other providers, I know Verizon didn't want to do it in their area, so a WISP was contracted). This has been completed for about a year, and seems to be quite popular. |
