If true this is extremely dangerous. The government will offer wireless internet for free thus eliminating the need for competitors to offer internet services. Once that is in place it will have a monopoly and the state can filter content like they do in China and ensure you get the "right information". He is ignoring congress and the courts and acting more like a dictator.

Follow the money on this one, it is a political payback, plus it screws with the GPS spectrum
To: Cacique
why would obama need to do this, unless he wants to control content and shut it down when it suits his purposes
will obama also just nationalize the press, and nationalize the libraries?

Oh yeah, I got a trial subscription but did away with it before the credit card got billed.
It is G4 and drops you often, problem is that it does not recover, you have to re-set the router/radio.
Speed tests are very good, but if is not reliable, what good does it do?
The sales guy was really hesitant to talk about how they got the funding, then I found out why.

The federal government currently has $-14,123,589,307,190.53 (note particularly the negative sign) and thus insufficient (non-positive) resources to spend on this or any other initiative. The current Administration moreover desires to make electricity so expensive and erratic that only the elites can get only a little of it only some of the time at great expense beyond ever more exorbitant taxes (also imposed on the working poor). So, I’m not sure how the federal government can afford to operate a nationwide wi-fi service or whether they would do so competently and efficiently or whether anyone could afford the electricity to run any device that uses it.

First of all, Obama and crew can improve my life by NOT TRYING TO IMPROVE MY LIFE. Just leave me and everyone else
alone please.
If this scheme does go through, we’ll end up with a postal
service that is more reliable and user friendly than internet service. And I’m not forseeing any improvements in
the postal service!
To: silverleaf
Not gonna happen! With his approval ratings going down and the change in public opinion about Public Employee Unions, even Democrats in Congress and the Senate will vote against this. And if he tries it by using a power grab by administrative action (like net neutrality and CO2 limits) he will not get the money and will possibly start the ball rolling on impeachment of his Cabinet Secretaries or even himself.

Clinton made the big push to put Internet access into every nook and cranny of the material world. Wonder what the communists like so much about it.

While I support initiatives for rural areas, this sounds extremely dangerous and government-controlling.

Governments are not interested in efficiency, profit or serving the people. They want control. Those who have power never have enough of it and Obambi has a G_d complex..

"He is ignoring congress and the courts and acting more like a dictator."Well, that fat bastard, Michael Moore, et al, did call for him to act more like a dictator in order to get his way.

“Wonder what the communists like so much about it.”
Oh, who knows? OTOH I think there are some prophecies
about the whole world being dazzled and led astray sometime
in the future. This would certainly give everyone a front
row seat to view the spectacles to come.

And shut it down if he’s threatened like they did in Egypt.
