Yes, the article sounded like it was presenting a false choice: why, exactly, could we only have national wireless and broadband infrastructure if we stopped building bridges? (The only reason I could see was if we had some sort of budget limit, which it seems we don't really have, given that we're spending borrowed money anyway.) Roads and bridges won't help move information, at least not directly; and moving information is more important to our economy now than it was in the 1930s. But information is far from the <em>only</em> thing we move, thankfully. As long as we've got the workforce and the will, let's work on both kinds of infrastructure.
