| This could create jobs... ...by using this as a WPA type project. That is how much of our infrastructure was built up in the 1st place. Have the Government expand the backbone necessary for the increased demand for bandwidth, and let local carriers battle it out/upgrade the local infrastructure. Even Wireless Competitors could benefit from a project like this{ maybe split the cost of running the lines from the towers to the backbone in rural areas}. This would be a major undertaking, and long term...as the backbone will need to keep up/exceed the needs of the users. Instead of throwing money at Wall Street, we should be taking care of Main Street. Once people have jobs and expendable income, the economy will begin to grow again. |

Saint Louis, MO | I would also like to see a WPA type project. But the backbone is pretty much fine, so I do not think that would work. However going out to those areas that are least likely to get any company to move into would. Running fiber optic out to all the farms in the US would generate a tremendous number of jobs. Take a look at the central part of the US (ND straight south to TX) and you have an idea of the type of areas I am talking about. Treat it just like they did when they installed electric and phone to those same areas. |

Cheyenne, WY | Good to see somebody here that knows our history. Indeed building out a broadband network using a Works Project Administration (WPA) type of model, or better yet a Rural Electrification type of model would do the trick. The is the kind of investment in the infrastructure of the US that makes since. Like the Defense Interstate Highway System which was started in the 1950's when the Pentagon recognized that much better roads where needed if it ever became necessary for large military movement across the country a national broadband "highway' should be considered just as important to the Nation.
