I completely agree bullet257 with everything you stated. For far too long, the consumer has been chained to what the incumbents (both cable and dsl) have been feeding us for years...BS.
Both are monopolies, and have done little in terms of giving us real value, and a reliable quality of service.
Once FTTH is built out, the governments can eventualy "lease" the network to competitors who provide isp or otehr services.
I imagine a future where our tax dollars provide for the "electronic infrastructure", and that we simply pay a flat fee and small tax to use it.
I think a lot of people don't realaize how serious behind our nation has become, in terms of fiber. Our technological superiority is at stake, and we will fall behind grid computing (and it's advances) sooner than we think.
cheers & happy new year |
