Galt, CA | here is a thought... im no fan of government spending but sometimes it does make sense.
case in point: fiber infrastructure
it makes little sense to NOT spend the time and money rolling fiber during road construction and bridge retrofitting. find a way to have some organization control the fiber and lease it at a break-even rate to anyone that wants it.
result? fiber rollouts everywhere... tons of new jobs lots of growth and sudden drop in broadband pricing.
more government? sure, kinda... you would have to have real people to actually manage that kind of network but thats why it should run as a non profit... and the situation is not exactly previously untried (think USPS).
the possibility of seeing real broadband penetration to smaller communities suddenly becomes realistic when done this way.
of course since it all makes sense (even if you dont actually like the idea, it does make sense) it will never happen. |

Charlotte, NC | Like your fiber idea. I would start in the rural areas that are on the electrical grid so when they run out of money those areas will have it. If they work from populated areas out then those at the end will never get fiber and fast speeds. |
