said by cornelius785:i'm all for upgrading broadband in logic manners that are fair to the majority (if you think you can be fair to all, you smoking crack). it almost sound like they want to ensure every cow has access to broadband. after reading those bullets, a part of me opposes this.
why concentrate on sparsely populated areas?
since when is broadband a necessity?
should a luxury item be subsidized for the lower classes?
why should a company really want to deploy fiber ($$$$) and allow other companies to lease for cheap(-ish)?
does it even matter is the fiber is open to multiple competitors? why should i even care? it's not like i'll save a lots of money.
aren't there already training services in place? what about computer literate relatives or even neighbors?
You do realize that 75-100 years ago your same arguments were use for electricity and phone service EXACTLY. Where those people right? No. I see many people here don't get the BIG picture. Which is surprising because one would think those that frequent a site like this would be of at least above average intelligence. guess not.
