Watch where the $$$ goes

I am going out on a limb and predict that this broadband money will be spent out in very rural communities for some kind of wireless broadband. It will benefit just a very few, namely Farmers and wireless ISP's.
IMHO, even giving the money to ATT to deploy dslam's on existing fiber would put high speed internet out to more people.
ATT has slammed the door on deploying DSL any more than they have.
All they are interested in is U Verse, and thats only in highly populated areas.

I came to Satellite from dial-up. For what it is worth I KNOW my dial-up ISP was gouging me at $21.95 a month. How? When I told them to cancel my account - I was going sat, they offered to lower the price to $9.95. When I still said no, they offered it to me at $3.95. Haha. They wouldn't offer it at $3.95 a month if it didn't make them money. (grin)

As for this country being built with a "free market" - haha. It was built on bonded and slave labor. Conditions were so onerous that men took to dragging their wives and kids into the wilderness in the hopes of finding something better. And as soon we became a world power, those who ran things, took to ripping off third world countries. Regulation and cops - both bad things - are necessary because the alternative is worse.
