Mount Airy, MD | Screw This This, like every other government "investment" program, will end up being the absolute worst combination of corporate welfare and nonproductive waste.

| 50/20 is very realistic by 2015 by doing what we've already been doing. It's the 80% that is not realistic. It'll be more like 20% or less because the rural areas where there's been no infrastructure investment will continue to be ignored. Money will just go into the most densely populated and richest areas where broadband is already available. |

Money will just go into the most densely populated and richest areas where broadband is already available. I am going to go out on a limb here and boldly claim that most populated areas of the USA have access to broadband through at least one provider. This isn't 1998, and private companies have steadily been building out access to previously unserved areas, and still continue to do so today. If you look at changes in broadband subscription rates over time, you will find that they have leveled off. This means we have reached the saturation point of broadband penetration in this country. The people who want it but cannot get it are a very tiny minority, and the other people who do not have broadband either do not want it at the price offered or cannot afford it anyway.
