Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

Do you not see the irony here?  It's suggested the government comes in and
delivers fiber to every house in the country and yet today we're saying
they haven't gotten it right in the last ~20 years.

Grants and federal funds are available.  It's a massive amount of work to
get them, at which point those with money find more profitable ways of
doing things - like FTTH in a city with 100 subs/mile.
