said by Thumper21 :

why would a company want to bid on it if they can only make money off of 5% of the population?

what kind of speeds would the consumer be getting? why would a consumer want to pay for broadband if they can get it free?
The do say free service "TIER", meaning that there would be multiple tiers. The free tier could be speed limited to say 768/128 and the pay tiers would be faster.
they would be nice for laptop users on the road and if they make the higher tiers cost less then the cell phone based broadband then WIN WIN.

also how can they be family-friendly and have open access?

as be family-friendly may block alot of sites.
