DENVER, June 28 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton pledged Tuesday she would bring "affordable" broadband Internet access to all U.S. homes by 2020 as part of a series of proposals to increase web access and bolster the tech sector of the economy.

Presently, the Federal Communications Commission reports 10 percent of Americans, roughly 34 million people, do not have access to broadband Internet. The vast majority of them are people living in rural areas, where tech companies have declined to install the infrastructure necessary to bring high-speed Internet to a small number customers due to the cost.

I wonder if the Clinton Global Crime Initiative will foot the bill?

“... dangerous than Lord Obama, until now that is.”

In some ways, we should be thankful he won. He went into the White House with a resume that included two unopposed runs for state and US Senate ... Oh, and “community organizing” .... a skill only the smartest people on the planet are capable of mastering.

Had Hillary won in 2008 and survived the same “brilliant” campaign Romney ran in 2012, we’d be facing Obama right now ... An Obama that would be bragging about his 10 year stretch in the Senate and all of his accomplishments spending the past 10 years campaigning.

As far as I’m concerned, a person like Trump wouldn’t be running. The media would have been hyping up Barry for the past decade as Clinton’s successor. Nobody serious would risk the cash to run against him. More than likely, Jeb would have been the eventual fool to earn the right to lose to Barry.

While Obama has done some damage to this country, we still have a shot ... Had Clinton won in 2008, I think we would be toast.

I think she was misquoted. She meant to say broad asses for all by 2020.

So she wants to force everyone to buy broadband. I wonder how many of her supporter companies we will be forced to patronize?

Thanks. When my daughter was 12, I asked her if she had ever heard of the original broadband. She said no, so I showed her a movie short of Ina Ray Hutton’s band. Mrs Chajin had to explain the joke to her.

Hill Dog used the word “affordable” which in newspeak means all who pay are hosed. All who get it for free get everything. There are mules and there are illiterate farmhands who tend mules...

"Everyone with a Smart Phone has Internet Access. Here’s my Proposal. if you want “free” Broadband, go the McDonalds or Starbucks."

A)smart phones do not work in my area.

B)I will NOT drive 45 miles to my nearest McDonalds or Starbucks just to get "free" broadband.

"Obama already did this or said he would"

Yup! bozo did promise this 7 1/2 years ago. he failed. Didn't he recently promise that Cuba will get broadband?
