Faison, NC | They will not do anything to change it because the telco give them too much money for campaigns and such. The telco were given hundreds of billions in tax incentives and deregulation on the promise they would connect every home to broadband. It never happened of course and they ran with the money. Only 1 state has taken the telco to court over breach of contract, New Jersey. And surprisingly verizon now promises it will cover all homes. Funny how they can suddenly make it happen when pressured.
What we have here is a case of the accused paying off the judge. We the jury can complain all we like but the judge will do what the person paying wants. |

Broadband service should be extended to any location where there is electric service. Once electric power has been deployed the most difficult issues have already been resolved. Anywhere there is electric power there are telephone poles, a right of way already in place to install fiber and a power source to power the broadband network. The only problem is the incumbent ISP influence peddling. Our government lawmakers will spend billions on pork barrel projects benefiting their cronies while not helping our citizens. We need a national broadband program which could be promoted as the "WIRE AMERICA NOW". If our government can afford to build highways at a million dollars a mile they can afford to install fiber along a highway for a few thousand dollars a mile. Any excuse not to is Bull Feces.
