Re: So, as thought, Taxpayers (us) already paid for it

Note I said many not all. I'm thinking specifically of those that were counting on "Fat pipes" to people's homes, such as Telephony, Video services, Real time shopping, etc

These ideas were *not* pie in the sky ideas that would never work. They just needed consumers who had the bandwidth to deliver the services.
