Mcalester, OK | Nationalize the broadband infrastructure... to deliver wired Internet access to every citizen that wants it. Internet access is too important to national security and the economic well being of this country to allow corporations to have a hand in its delivery. They have already proven that their limited agendas will take precedence over everything including the well being of this nation. After the Internet is delivered, corp's. can then make their money delivering services across the Internet.
If you don't think this is a good idea then let's turn over the nation's highways to corporations. And the military as well. We might as well let them control everything. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | Ok, a few thing wrong with that. 1. Wireless would be a less costly way to do it, and wireless can work with VoIP online gaming and videos I do all that stuff with my wireless.
2.NO! Taxes are high enough already.
3.I don't wan to give the Government more power, I don't want them to say how long I can be on the net, what I can use it for, what I can say on it. |

I actually wouldn't mind turning highways over to corps. Make 'em toll roads, and don't let the unions get too big...
For broadband infrastructure, it sometimes doesn't make sense to wire some people for internet service. The cost is just too great.
On the other hand, wireless service (terrestrial, WiMAX for example) is very doable and will provide decent speeds (you can get 10 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up over WiMAX if I'm calculating stuff correctly). All without breaking the bank. |
