I'm all in favor of universal broadband access, but I'm way opposed to having the government figure out how to do it. That's a recipe for either a technical disaster or a high-priced subsidy to rural residents (or both).

And Bush should know that, if he's as smart and principled as the people on this forum seem to think he is.

Q: What specific social, educational, legislative and economic policies will you implement that will insure that minority communities will gain access to technology and resources essential to survival in this new information age?
