"Our US congress had the chance to fix this back in 1990s and they screwed up with enforcing it properly. We could've had a better pure fiber-based national build out but it didn't work out."

British Telecom wanted to do a full fibre deployment but the government upheld complaints of it being anti competitive, and now we have to endure copper *DSL being the default national broadband option and all the pitfalls that entails.
