Government money is regularly used to build access to new / remote places. Should I provide examples or would that be considered cherry picked evidence?

- zlg_codes 3y agoYou're missing the point. ISPs did not build out their plants to support more bandwidth with Obama money. Serving a handful of remote areas to have the appearance of it isn't enough. Why isn't the US covered in fiber? We spent the money to make it happen, and it didn't happen.
- Thetawaves 3y agoI think I disagree on this premise - government subsidies for telecommunications over the last 20 years have largely served to connect new and under served markets. If you have broadband (by the pitiful FCC definition) you have not been a target of investment.
