Fayetteville, WV | That isn't realistic. What your asking is, for government to make a law to increase the speed of already existent broadband.
You obviously want FIOS or the like so your already in place internet connection can speed up. The initiative is to spread broadband access to under-served communities where broadband lines, copper or fiber, do not exist at all. This requires a fiber backbone of course, but fiber to every home in America should not be government financed. That would be trillions of dollars in fiber line and fiber nodes.
A more cost effective solution would be to invest into research that extends the distance that fiber nodes and DSLAMs can effectively push their frequencies.
We all know that fiber is THE medium to eventually replace copper. But 10 years is an impossible time line and the cost would mean an even greater depression than we already have. |
