[...] No comments It is not the first time I have indulged in navel gazing about what is broadband, how much bandwidth is enough, and what are you really going to do with it. Business Week is having a similar moment, wondering [...]

Any clue how much it would cost for a 100 Mbps connection? I mean, since it’s run through an established infrastructure, would the costs to upkeep it be more drastic for the high-speed ISP?

The sad thing is that recently , in Bangalore,India, my cousin got his internet upgraded to 2mb/s down and 500kb/s upload for 12 dollars a month, which is about the same that most people get in the U.S. ... did I mention that India was a third world country :)

It’s clear something has to be done and this is possible. This country IS falling way behind the rest of the word in high speed, affordable broadband for all. Many of the 2008 Presidential Candidates – Obama, Hillary, Edwards have published proposals on this. It is do-able. FTTH is what they use in Japan which has the highest speeds. This can be done. There are some step by step proposals for implementing a National policy on http://www.speedmatters.org. If we don’t do it, it just won’t get done. Everyone has an interest in getting it done — every student, teacher, citizen who wants to participate in political debate, businesses, the workers who will build it, hospitals, farmers… even during and after the tragedy at Virginia Tech — the internet was not just used for information but the main way these young people reached out to each other for support and comfort. No one should denied access to this.

@lars and others.. Try SEAS NVE in Denmark. They're providing 100mb + speeds

They're also providing backbone connections for data transfer between companies and offices up to 2.5 Gigs
