This buffoon have any idea how much it costs to provide Internet to very isolated communities - like Clark’s Point, Cold BAy or Buckland AK......
Once the skylink gets going, that has a chance of happening - and nothing the FEdGov did.
Here’s another article on it from 2011...

On FNC, Gov Huckabee just revealed the cost to you and me to bring Broadband internet service to rural areas through Obama’s Stimulus package. It was $349,000 per home, and you and I paid it!
In Montana, it was worse. The program made Broadband available to a total of 7 homes that did not have it available before, at a cost to you and me of $49,000,000. That’s $7,000,000 per home.
The total cost was $7.2 BILLION... and we... and our kids... and their kids, paid the bill!

I need a little bit faster internet here but if given the choice I’ll take the $7m and and run. If I need Verizon Fios, I’ll live elsewhere.
