"I do not understand, what is the problem here?"

Wondering the same thing. Why is this a bid deal?

Our telecommunications infrastructure is too slow and unreliable compared to many of the nations we are competing with.

Osama bin Laden has better Internet service in his cave that many Americans can get today.

The simple fact of the matter is that people are not willing to pay for faster broadband and the gov’t is not willing to allow the natural monopoly of a telecom to form. So the telecoms (and cable too) are not willing to dump cheap high speed internet into everyone’s home until they hit a certain economy of scale.
