Just to be clear. I do applaud any effort to increase deliverable bandwidth. I am not at all against R&D and having a bandwidth ride comparable to the growth curve of Moore's Law and Semiconductors.

Its just that the US National Policy of protecting incumbents and preventing real growth in actual delivered bandwidth is hurting the overall national economy and limiting the ability of the US to compete in the International markets.

We must see how the incumbent Telcos and Cablecos are using their choke hold on the last mile to hold US Citizens hostage. Their end game is to control the content that we can send and receive so that they can have tollbooths at everyone's home and office.
