Re: To far behind already?
said by Karl Bode  :I don't think it would be that hard, but it would require steps that share-holders and free-market fans wouldn't like. That would include government involvement in the infrastructure process, including setting deployment water-marks (and actually enforcing them), correcting the corruption in the USF system and perhaps expanding its function (not just eliminating it), and not cow-towing to telco & cable lobbyists at every turn. None of that will ever happen, as the political system now serves the will of the largest incumbents, not the public. Well said. |

I agree with everything you just said but I'm sure you also know that these things never gonna happen - unless we disband this rotten FCC and forget it forever. We need a completely different communication market approach.
Sorry, we tried this - during last decades it didn't work out, by now it's completely ridden by corruption. Kill it. |

| It is not just the FCC -try to place fiber in the ground and you have all local governments plus the EPA in your pocket- then the are the tree huggers 'who sometime are right' so it is hard to compare USA with third world or not where there are less hoops to jump thru.
Also USA got in this early so it is a replacement not new which means you pay for it twice. |
