Re: lost commerce

The money people were (forced) to pay in tax dollars in order to subsidize the telco deployment was quite obviously spent mainly on increasing profit instead of what it was intended to be spent on (current state of broadband affairs proves this quite nicely).
At what point did the telcos say 'give us money so we can build a broadband network'? Any money paid in the past was to build the current copper network, which works very nicely and is available everywhere.

 I believe an agreement was made between the govt and the telcos- I don't think the telcos simply said 'give us money so we can make this' - after all it is the government who makes the laws for adding taxes.

I can remember something like that happening in Pennsylvania with Verizon but I don't remember any sweeping federal legislation.
