Are we still at this point? Discussing the importance and cost of “The Last Mile”?

I’ve probably laid more fiber than most have ever seen… literally NY to LA. The last backbone build was Albany to Boston. “The Last Mile” was already becoming the buzz word at that time. That was 1999.

If this “presidential” discussion starts at this point… then it starts at the same point Clinton started it… the same point where Bush started it. The consensus is in… broadband is important… broadband is vital… broadband needs competition… broadband needs to be in every corner in America… broadband is expensive but has been getting cheaper. Now… with all the very well knowns… WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??

Damn, I get ticked every time I get tricked into reading these Johnny-come-lately’s articles from writers who have only “glossed over” the case and think they are pontificating a new idea of broadband importance and regulation. How about offering an article that offers a solution… not more identification of the problem? We know. We know, alright?
