Re: time ot do a national turn it off month Not at all.
I'm saying, seeing it ONLY as a consumer issue, or ONLY as a business/investor issue is the problem.
Somewhere there is a middle ground, reasonable return to the investor, reasonable service to MOST locations, reasonable regulation, and reasonable/zero taxpayer cost.
i.e. taxes/fees must balance taxpayer INVESTMENT, should capital be require to jump start the process.
"Universal" access would likely be a separate fee, but might be limited access.
speed of rollout (why taxpayer investment MIGHT be needed) would be a critical point/metric (metric's really measure what HAS happened, which is why I would suggest REIMBURSEMENT for goals met, rather than, payments in advance (be VERY effective, get a big bonus,... be effective get a bonus,...do little get nothing AND pay penalties (if you bid and fail to provide) |
| In your original post you said no one has offered a reasonable plan. I'm suggesting that the many of the thoughts and ideas that were submitted to him were simple solutions that could be implemented at no cost to the tax payer putting us on firm foundation that we could THEN stack a broadband plan on. These suggestions should not be dismissed because they cost the taxpayer nothing.
