| Re: Imagine, if you will... said by Xure  :Yeah... I remember a few news items where people tried #1... If someone tried using my tax money to build their network I would sue them too. But there are locations where competing cable companies and phone companies have set up shop using their own money without interference from the incumbents.
said by Xure :As for #2. Maybe we all should move to Virginia, where the lobbied ones live. Ahh to be the lobbied one. No better way to show off broadband that a small, niche market of DC so they can claim how good BB in USA is. Well, if you absolutely cannot possibly live without broadband, then whose fault is it if you don't ensure that its available at your location before you move?

I said that if broadband is so critical to your day to day existence that you would absolutely cease to function if you did not have it, that you should take it into consideration when you move.
Starting your own broadband venture is about as easy as moving. If you want it that bad, you'll do either one. If you want to sit on your butt and hope that an ISP will eventually serve you, then you need to realize that it might not happen and there won't be a thing you can do about it.

Where did I mention any taxpayer-provided broadband solution?
