Re: core reasons How exactly do you define a "monetary drop in the pond"? Apparently the government has wasted billions on encouraging buildouts with little to show. Granted, private industry could likely do it more efficiently, but it's not a "drop in the bucket".
I'm sure you realize the significant differences of wireless providers versus wireline, so I'm not sure your point there except to suggest that starting a business is challenging.
My point is that a lot of people appear disillusioned as to how much money infrastructure projects can cost. |

Private industry? Don't make me laugh. If it were up to them, we wouldn't even have 768K download speeds.
Why do you feel the government is to blame and not the people wasting the money they were given? You don't want the government telling them how to spend taxpayer money, yet it's the government's fault they wasted it? |

kudos:2 | What? It's not the government's fault that regulators failed in their responsibilities? It's not the governments fault for continuing to drop money left and right with no accountability or return on investment? Accountability, accountability, accountability. |

| Then where's the accountability of the corporations who wasted the money? |

Let's say you are a subdivision trustee responsible for making sure the common grounds in the subdivision are mowed. You contract with a neighborhood kid. He sends bills, which you regularly approve for payment, but he never mows anything. In fact you learn that he has subcontracted the job and they mowed once and then never again because the kid didn't pay them. The kid keeps sending bills and you keep approving them for payment.
Who do the subdivision members hold accountable for wasted funds and overgrown common grounds? |
