said by kevnich24:Did you watch the interview?? US is falling vastly short compared to rest of the world with internet speeds and reliability but yet paying much more. The big telcos have received billions in taxpayer subsidies and havent done a thing to do what they said they would which was provide high speed internet to rural areas.
Separate the local last mile infrastracture from the ISP backbones and run like a utility, have each local municipality take care of keeping everything up to date and then each customer can choose who theyre provider is.
I've been complaining about this for years.. Most commmon reply I get? "they should not waste money running broadband to your house thats is 12 miles away from everything"
I find it kinda funny.. My house is in Dickson, TN. There are literally hundreds of house's in the area running off one remote terminal here that is already fiber fed.. We surpassed the soo called requirement for comcast to build down our road which we averaged well over now 36 homes a mile directly on the road, this doesn't count for the small branch off roads packed with homes mind you.. Yet, we are still labeled as rural... Top it off with the funds they have received from the tax payers and gotten away with not doing jack? Its all a bunch of bullcrap. |
