In that respect, it appears to have served it's purpose of masking the non-competitive nature of the U.S. broadband market and fooling congress into believing the FCC and incumbent's pronouncements of a "competitive market". it didn't do so well at providing affordable broadband to the public.

"See? Everyone has broadband! The free market rocks!" Ask the typical hardcore online gamer if satellite based "broadband" is their preferred solution..
