They don't have enough money to run fiber to every single house in the US. If suggestions like that are made, you will be totally ignored.
But for example, even with only $7 billion dollars, they could fund enough WISPS thru loans to make broadband available to much of rural America.

Just as they don't run power and phone lines to every remote home there will never be fiber run to every single home. However if huge communications corporations like AT&T want to do business in our country they should be willing to run fiber a lot further than they are now. If they're not willing to do what needs to be done then our country should have an Independence From AT&T Day. |

Our country needs alternate solutions to AT&T and the other major corporations with the monopoly like this. I'm not looking for a new corporate monopoly for the rural access. I want alternative solutions that are viable. |

Canonsburg, PA | IOW you wanted that Independence From AT&T Day yesterday. Unfortunately if they don't consider themselves a part of the solution it's a sure bet they'll use their money and power to stop those alternative viable solutions. |

"I want alternative solutions that are viable."
So do I, we already have some-ish but they are not being used to their full extent. |

Which, IMHO, is the way to go. Stop trying to get DSL to rural areas wireless is better for that. |
