Just to throw it out there. We all do realize laying down either glass or copper is expensive per mile. Replacing old infrastructure, per mile, is even more expensive. Add in just how incredibly large the US is compared to other countries... if the gov is going to subsidize something, I want to make sure the bridges, overpass and canal infrastructure maintenance budget is bigger than worrying about how long it takes to download a 4k youtube video.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoJust do what the EU did. Mandate that the last mile must be shared between broadband providers. It boggles my mind that this didn't happen in the US, as it's a super-US kind of solution (minimal interference in the market, people get to make a profit). And I say this every time this comes up on HN, and people act like it's impossible.
