Another out of context quote. You didn’t quote the rest, that makes it clear he is for private industry, not Federal government, to provide it.
Obama is for the government to “provide” everything, regulate everything, and therefore control everything and everyone. McCain and Republicans are for less government control and allowing private enterprise and capitalism to respond to market forces. The choice is clear.
“As President, John McCain would continue to encourage private investment to facilitate the build-out of infrastructure to provide high-speed Internet connectivity all over America. “
Hey, no problem!
As long as he's giving out all those freebies, free internet for all, who am I to complain about who provides it?
Vote McCain--freep for free!
