Seriously, how does that work exactly? Does everyone go from growing beets (to take an example of what people do out in the country around here) to writing code, or open a call center or something?

No, if you have a good size business then everyone shares the network.You have Colleges that in the medical section run live video, you have a big business firm, ever one is using the network while you might have a room running a meeting that uses video or even VOIP. a lot of places only use what is available to them or what the network can handle but have visions of what would make work so much better. I know of times it had effect at my work. I'm in printing, we print on demand, we have as much as 300 jobs a day come through our shop. A lot of our files come from our customers over the internet so I know what good comes from HSI. Seattle is a big city with a lot of business and we have been sitting up here in this little corner hearing and reading about other city's on the east coast getting all these new services becoming the norm sort of speak and being told we will get it when it becomes needed.Seattle Business knows whats out there and knows what it needs and is tired of people sitting on there butts getting rich and fat off us and has had it. Give it up or get the hell out of the way. Good for you Seattle. I don't see it doing anything for me but someone needs to take control and not sit back and be told what they can and cant have when it's already available to others. |

| Again how does this affect low-economic areas? Everything that you listed appears to affect existing businesses, not an economically undeveloped area.
So how does providing broadband take a low-economic area to a thriving technology sector? I'm still curious in case anyone wants to explain it.

It gives business in that town cheep tax subsidised broadband. Business can and does get all of the bandwidth they want right now. That is market priced broad band though, not tax subsidised broadband. |
