Re: Of course we're falling behind...
And that potential is? What justifies such a high expense?

1 edit | let me ask you something..
are you content with having the same thing forever or do you like change?
That would be the main reason for deploying it, new technology, new applications, ideas, reasoning, things we haven't thought of yet.. |

| That still does not help the corporate people with the money understand your point. There is no good reason to spend money on something we have not thought about yet, at least looking at it as a business model.
I think the new applications, ideas, reasoning and the things we have not thought of yet need to be in place before the people with the money (which is an INVESTMENT for them) can justify spending that kind of cash. |

Hell, alot of people would LOVE to have their dialup changed over to some sort of broadband option. But it ain't happened yet.
So no need to start putting the cart before the horse here. I wouldn't expect to see any type of massive fiber rollout until every penny can be had by selectively selling cable/dsl for the next decade. Maybe in some trials and high tech urban areas will fiber be avail, but don't expect fiber to be rolled out at the pace dsl/cable was 2 years ago.
Heck my brother moved into a new house 14 months ago in Florida, and i chatted with the Bellsouth Tech there installing his phone service. My brothers sub is completely wired for Fiber. But the tech said it wasn't even on the books to start rolling out a fiber trunk line into that area for another 10-15 years. |

| That's just it....dial-up isn't cutting it! Telco's and Cable co's need to expand their coverage. There are way too many people begging for BB that cannot have it b/c they are too cheap to expand it. Fiber is just a dream b/c these companies are too tight w/the money.

Don't you mean dial up isn't cutting it for you?
Dial up accomplishes the job just fine for millions of others.

As I see it that is the attitude which prevents all this from happening and why we are falling behind.
To make my case:
Gas light worked, Horse and buggies work also. As does a dial phone with an operator to connect you to anyone outside your own neighborhood. Heck the Pony Express service was not too bad either 
So why change?
It is called progress, without progress we become a stagnant nation and fall behind. Companies should be encouraged and rewarded for venturing into new projects and new ideas,. In the long run it benefits the entire nation
