Elmhurst, NY | Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! Okay I want to add my tidbit.
I agree with what many of us are saying: that Docsis 3 is not really the solution.
What is difficult in the United States is that there is such a vast **area** of land to run through to provide service. The cost/expenses to run fiber over this vast area is a huge burden. If cable companies can work together and decide to cut costs by wiring the nation in a joint venture, it all works to everyone's advantage: country gets wired quickly and everyone benefits in the long run.
Another thing that I think can work is government incentives (lower/fewer taxes, etc) for companies who to build infrastructure in rural areas.
Lastly, an option (and in a failing economy where we're out of a budget not the best recommendation) would be for govt to build such an infrastructure.
Just my 2 cents
