How you gonna wire up Bumf—k, Egypt? Too spread out. Lack of high speed internet is bringing folks closer to the grid. If it’s doable real estate will do quite well for those that need a country home.

Low power broadcast TV doesn’t need much bandwidth as the NAB well knows. The same handful of channels can be reused in every market because they are limited n range. FCC should regulate in the public interest, convenience, and necessity, as their mission used to state.

This FCC will do what Verizon tells them to do, when Verizon tells them to, and they’re not going to let the public interest or any damn President of the United States tell them otherwise.

I don’t understand the focus on this. Rural areas already have options for high-speed internet.

[The Great RJ]

Entirely private financed alternatives great, but plans that slap a tax on current broadband users to subsidize rural users no.

Maybe I’m the only one thing this way but is this really a function of federal government?

[Dick Bachert]

I believe I can safely say that Mr. Jefferson would get behind that effort. From his writings, those were HIS favorite people and he'd certainly want as many of them as possible in the political loop!

MR. JEFFERSON ON CITIES!

I’ve got it!

Fiber optic to the house!
