Re: bahhhh
If you can find a way to make full fiber deployment profitable in low population areas, I'm all ears.
Most of the nations infrastructure was built without government funding. Some notable exceptions would be the REA and the TVA which usually went to co-ops.
I don't thing the M.O.T is the issue. People don't care how they get their connection, just as long as they get one at a reasonable price.
Why should the government be handing out tax dollars to corporation worth millions when people like me are trying to roll out with sweat equity and hard work? Maybe I'm bitchy because I don't qualify. Why give money to the companies that already can afford deployment? If they don't see fit to deploy now, give it a while and I (or someone like me) will. It's a capitalist economy. If the big guys don't want the risk, I do. This is America for goodness sakes.

To add my $.02
I just signed up with a Wireless ISP this weekend. A man and his son run it part-time. I get good speeds; not as fast as cable but a heck of a lot better than dial-up. It costs me less then cable would (if I could get it), but I can upgrade my speeds for a higher price if I wanted. Just this year, 3 Wireless ISPs started operating in my area. These guys just happened to be the ones with the best signal to my house. All of the companies are looking for locations where they can put repeaters. It won't be long before most of my area is covered.
Most of the time, capitalism works (some times just a bit slowly). |
