| They keep getting it wrong
"Like the railroads of the 19th century and the interstate highways of the 20th, the nationwide development of broadband networks is an engine of economic growth that will carry the United States into the decades ahead."
The railroads are booming like never before, and will continue to do so in the coming years, they are helping bring the US into the decades ahead as well, an economic engine carrying America's present and future on ribbons of steel (among them, the raw goods and finished products that make broadband possible, as well as having miles of fiber laid along their lines, the UP RR, for example, has the largest fiber network in the US) . The media, once again has portrayed railroads as something in the past, they couldn't be more wrong. Now, back to your regularly scheduled tech talk

Covina, CA | Say what? Trains may not use 'gasoline' but the majority of them - especially the heavy freight haulers - use diesel which comes from the same crude and is basically the same fuel the 'big-rigs' use to deliver goods on the roads. |
