expand real broadband

I think instead of investing in a last ditch solution for broadband more of the traditional forms of broadband (IE wireless, DSL, and cable) should be given some help from the government HOWEVER they must clearly state in order to receive a grant they must start expanding prior to getting the money, that way they can't take the money then sit on their hands.

 I agree if we can't kill the wild spending the gov is doing then

at least require they complete a few steps
1. Order new equ in amounts needed to actually deploy to all service areas + 20% of non-current areas (or so much that they need to money to avoid bankruptcy)

2. deploy the new gear to 50% of areas not on the new tech yet

so for Comcast they would need to buy enough CMTS's and Cable modems to deploy to all areas that currently have D2 service plus to 20% of areas that don't have any broadband

then after 5 ISP's take the money then there wouldn't be any area that doesn't have real broadband

also in the set of standards for this real broadband should be described as within 5% of the current maximum speed available from a cunsumer ISP
(Ie CableVision will offer 101Mbit so they would all have to have a 96Mbit tiear available at bare minimum) it would just have to be available

next the 2nd tier from the 95% rule tier should be no less than half the speed of the top tier (ie 95Mbit is top so 47.5Mbit would be 2nd) and the 2nd must have a reasonable price
