Here we go again! If we wanted a transcontinental railroad, individual ranchers would have built the tracks themselves. Isn't that how Free Enterprise works?

Depends. Imagine if a large RR company said you couldn't.. or put up laws and bills that prevent you from doing it.

That is happening with Telcos vs community broadband efforts. The large telcos are threatening efforts because it could hurt their profits in the area.

Exactly right in the west RR where given emanate domain powers. a Rancher does not. At the start of the build out of the RR in the West they made sure the agricultural interested could never build rail lines of there own. The same thing is happening today. The only entity with the power to get the so called digital highway built is the Federal Government. The only part of the Government that has experience in building such networks is the Pentagon. Especially in the West, and in particularly in the States of Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.

Since I'm so slow, I will help you. Funny how I understood what Transmaster was trying to convey, being from hilldunk Nitro, WV and all.
