Re: core reasons said by openbox9:Wow, PDOOMA much?
The bottom line most definitely isn't mythical. Is yours? Also, with a 1000% ROI in a matter of weeks, it's unfathomable as to why these silly ISPs haven't built the infrastructure yet 
Major POTS build outs ended a long time ago. So where is the USF going?
USF could have paid for universal fiber 20 times over, yet it just vanishes into thin air. |

I'd rather the ISPs pay back the last 15 years of USF fees and the $200 billion in tax grants they received as per the '96 Telecom Act. Then use that money to buy up the copper lines and build out FTTH. |

said by DataRiker:I was more concerned with the Inaccuracy of your post that strongly implied KADO used GOV money to build out Infrastructure.
I also like your minimization of the USF. Might want to rethink that position.
"I also like your minimization of the USF."
Why it seems like only yesterday SOMEONE thought that point didn't fit their argument, while today it is their central point. Perhaps He forgot. |

So that we wouldn't have infrastructure competition with private ISP incumbents. If taxpayer money went to build a new FTTH network, you'd want to maximize the revenue rather than split it in half to support the bonuses of CEOs. |

English 101
When somebody says you minimized a point, they think it is more important than you have implied.
Which means I think it is more central to my point. |

So fiber is concerned about competition from copper? For the moment, forget the capabilities delta, doesn't the cost of maintaining copper vs. fiber eliminate the competitive threat? |
