America lags behind other countries that have universal broadband deployment, Pelosi said; but the Democrats' agenda "guarantees" that every American will have affordable access to broadband within five years.

"We also believe that the nationwide deployment of high speed, always-on broadband and Internet and mobile communications will fuel the development of millions of new jobs in the United States," Pelosi said.

Democrats support "energy independence" within ten years; health care for all American within five years; and "dignified retirement" (no privatization of Social Security) through an "AmeriSave" plan.

And who is to pay for this??

Yet another gov't free-bee?

When will "We. the people" learn TANSTAAFL??

[Lejes Rimul]

SBC DSL is down to $14.95 a month.

Wi-Max is coming for folks like me out in the boonies.

Pretty soon, broadband is going to be extremely cheap--all because of Adam Smith's Invisible Hand.

And the Democrats are going to blame Halliburton and Bush.

Hey, I'm to the point of voting for anyone who can get my puter going at anything over 24,000 speed.

Nanci needs to get ex VP gore to manage this internet broadband, being as he invented the internet... and perhaps he could put another sur charge on our phone bills, like he did to hook the schools up to the Internet, I pay almost 5.00 a month for this farse..I am sure he could find a way to have every person pay for such a program..as Nanci proposes

[mikeybaby]

You can thank internet guru Al Gore, and his hand-picked butt kisser Reed Hunt for this, (through the '96 telecommunications act), the NASDAQ bubble and the resuting financial ruin. Oh and suing Microsoft didn't help either.
What a truly disasterous administration.

Taxes will pay for it.

And if the Dems guarantee it, you can guarantee they will control the content as well.

They may deceive some into thinking people will prosper enough for this, but the truth is they will regulate providers and tax the consumer for it.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well Hoover said that implying prosperity. But the Dems now are not implying that; they are the "regulate and tax" group.

[Godzilla]

Agreed, but the dems are also promising the sun and the moon in addition to their form of 'prosperity'.
