| Here is a thought! I understand the complexity and cost of rolling fiber out to everyone's homes but how about building the 21st century information "interstate" much like my grandfather helped build the 20th century interstate?
Thought: lay all the main trunks down and let municipalities have access to it when they sell bonds or what have you or give access to parties with a private interest in access, ie gas stations and such.
This way you are using the federal muscle to shed these cross country pipes that only 5 major players own and control? Give what money is left over to municipalities as low interest development loans.
OH YEAH! We don't have lobbyists on our side seeking the same future we hope for otherwise we would have 100 new nuclear power plants and my elderly neighbors could afford their power and light bills. |

| nuclear power plants have been put on hold in the United States. None of them have been built in years and they're not even extending any licenses to keep current ones going after they're suppose to shut down.
Also we see what local governments do with money, especially now days. They can't budget their money now so why do we want to give them anymore?
Also for your elderly neighbors and their power bills, there are programs that they can sign up for to help with their electric and gas, and telephone bills. They should consider looking into them. |

The programs I've seen ( Wi, Oh, Nv, La, Ca) to help the elderly and poor aren't that great and really don't "help". Of course, I've never lived in the great city of Toledo. lol Maybe they have a good program there... |

| The programs are great. They're federally and they're nationwide programs.  Maybe you should look them up and find out before spouting off about them  |

| Not the USF fund. That comes from the fee on the phone bill. |

Why would we need nuclear power plants when rivers flow, wind blows, and the sun shines every day for free without polluting the Earth or blowing up cities? |
