tell me something i don't know

" a combination of un-net savvy, financially compromised politicians and an apathetic FCC will keep wired networks relatively slow for now.

Hasn't this been the case for some time now?

Seems to me the thing keeping wired networks so slow is that it's damn expensive to crank the speeds up. Politicians deserve a lot of blame for a lot of ills but it's not their fault that laying and maintaining vast networks is a big undertaking.
