FCC Finds Broadband Is Expensive, People Are Strange, Uneducated > Ask different questions.

said by lcnoble:

If we ask different questions we may learn why broadband is not available or wanted, and we may correct this deficiency. I do not like subsidizing anything, especially financial systems to the cost of billions of dollars. I further the idea of fixing a negative "then what". It would be interesting to see statistics on our current quality of life not originally supported by subsidies, government or otherwise. Unless we change the methods of the governing entities, nothing will change. I believe that not finding a solution to this quandary will eventually lead to a negative result. People responding to this thread must be trying to find a solution. One question I would propose to this debate is; Why would people not want a world wide library at their whim, and how can we influence their perceptions to bring their position in agreement with those who believe that broadband access is essential ? I am positive that this issue will be solved, the government, providers, and us have a lot to lose if initiatives fail.
