 DaveO join:2001-09-05 Easley, SC | Government Fiber With Private ISPs We need to do something major here in the USA before we're so far behind the rest of the developed world in Internet service that it becomes a drag on economic growth.
What I would do is have all state governments build fiber optic(FTTH) to every home and business. The governments would partner with multiple privately-owned ISPs to provide many different Internet service plans to customers. The ISPs would compete in a free market. The government provides the "last mile" infrastructure so no company has a monopoly on service. |
