Isn't all the trouble we have due to last-mile shenanigans?
Until we can address that problem, this seems a bit moot.
Perhaps what we need is something like this, but at the state/local level.
- tomschlick 10y agoI believe the idea is that if you can reduce the costs to the major lines, it frees up more money to work on the last mile.
- ubernostrum 10y agoThat hasn't worked in the past. Why are we still trying it?
- jmcdiesel 10y agoThats why sidewalks are included... having conduit with all new sidewalks would definitely ease the last mile
- pc2g4d 10y agoDoes the federal government build many sidewalks?
- scott_karana 10y agoThey don't need to. Per the article: > [The bill] requires states to evaluate the need for broadband conduit any time they complete a highway construction project that gets federal funding
- jessaustin 10y agoIt always amazes and dismays me, how much construction goes on in which developers are not required to build sidewalks.
- stevehawk 10y agoNo, it wouldn't. Because most 'last mile' areas don't have sidewalks. Hell, the roads don't even names beyond "County Road 31".
- throwaway729 10y agoEase, not completely solve. By far most last mile areas do have sidewalks, if you consider population served as opposed to geographic area. Which is by far the most reasonable metric, because only humans use the internet...
