| So often on this site people complain about how South Korea is so far area of us in broadband deployment. South Korea's broadband is largely subsidized by their government. The problem is America is the lack of accountability with public funds.
Having worked for a couple of large corporations, accountability isn't that great in the private sector either. There are so many people publicly and privately there are unqualified in the jobs they are doing, or are just too lazy to take the time to learn. In the corporations I've worked at, making some arbitrary number was the only thing that mattered regardless of how that numbers was met.
I would like this stimulus to work, but the lack of accountability and greed will probably derail it. There is something about having access to a large sum of money that makes it hard for people to control themselves, especially free money. |
