As much as I hate govt regulation, it's going to take an act of Congress (as with electricity and telephone) to make broadband ubiquitous.

Why the presumption that broadband should be ubiquitous? If there's a market, private enterprise will serve it.

You sound like somebody who already has broadband access.

But for the rest of us, the govt will have to mandate it.

This is not about free access. It is about having any access.


BUMP
