2 years to lay a few miles of conduit. 2 YEARS!!

But the skimming, payola and the Big Guy’s 10% begin immediately.

...mandates for small & minority owned businesses to do the work and found out that few firms could qualify to get that funding.

No problem, just rewrite the funding qualifications requirements and shovel the tacpayer $$$ to them.

The entire Starlink network only cost $10 billion and it can provide internet to everyone on the planet.

The US Fed Gov't is a money laundering machine for politicians and their connected friends.

“Dang that’s a lot of **** right down the toilet.”

My guess is that Trump as president wouldn’t allow this sort of thing to grow into a multi-billion waste of money.

“Ten bucks says it’s all kickbacks and mafia style payoffs to the right people.”

That’s exactly what most of Washington, DC’s funding has degenerated into unfortunately. They have been stealing so long with immunity from prosecution or even bad publicity that it’s just ingrained and included in every funding measure.

The main hub is like forty-three miles away. There are several small towns between here and lots of side roads that have had fiber installed. It’s a slow process putting that big orange tubing in the dirt along side the road. So yeah, I can see where it’d take that long to get to our area. The conduit is already installed up our road which is a logging road (no longer used as such) and the conduit to the house. They still have to run the fiber through this conduit to all the houses up here many of which are quite isolated.
