Re: In my opinion...

said by cooperaaaron:

Most places that have electric lines that run to them should be able to have some sort of internet access, that is, if someone can hang some wire on poles to get lines to people's homes, then someone should look at it, otherwise let the private or public entities get internet to the people if the big companies don't think it is worth it...

It takes a lot of money to get started up. I am all for starting up new companies, but even wISPs have a high startup cost. Getting affordable backhaul isn't very easy in rural areas either.

I would like to see the US build a national fiber to the premise network. It would be installed by gov contractors. The gov would own the system. It would connect all homes and businesses that can get wired electric services. The fiber would be leased to multiple service providers and maintained by a new national telecom agency. This would mirror on a national scale what Utah has done with utopia. This would cost 300-600 billion to build, but it would provide a network that serves all and lasts for at least 100 years. After its built the old rotting coper pots network can be eliminated. In Australia they are doing just what I am suggesting. It would put a ton of people to work for sure.
