Re: How much to wire the entire population said by TylerCobb:I don't totally agree with that. I live on a pretty good size farm on which a many of my irragation are having to run off satellite. And for some reason I find it hard to farm in the middle of the city but according to you and the rest of the people that live in cities we country folks don't deserve it even though in reality I probably have more use for internet than u do. I think it would be pretty forthe people that complains that the underserved don't need internet should have there internet restricted to only be able to have satellite and see how long they last. Imo I don't believe we city folk ever suggested that you don't "deserve" broadband. You just don't deserve a subsidy for it.
If it costs $100+/month for a farm to have 144kbps IDSL, or wireless equivalent, then your business model should cover that. If you want fiber, and it costs $20k/drop (versus 2-4k/drop in the city), then you need to factor that in to your cost. If that means I pay an extra $.10/lb for Belgian Endive, so be it. |
