Government puts the Cart before the Horse (AGAIN)
Looks like the government still doesn't understand that Telco's don't have much "broadband" infrastructure to begin with, let alone to give away. They can't support all the paying customers.
If you want to drive the "car" at high speed, you need a nice smooth highway first. The Telco's can't even take care of the infrastructure they have already. They are literally "driving" their ADSL on washboard gravel roads, high speed they are NOT!
Cable internet providers are little better. Too much contention and lag. At 15 mbps avg. speed they could hardly be called "broadband" either.
Verizon FIOS is not available in most locations, and wireless Internet is not available except to cell users.
So the government is making MORE promises that they cannot keep, before there is even an infrastructure built to support them. Good luck with that!
