...Correct me if I'm wrong, but this *does* cost people money, since the Govt. would be handing out $2.8 billion USD to develop the service...$2.8b of taxpayer money. |
ya, if you remember we still have Bush's stimulases to pay off so frankly no matter how you look at it adding on top of that wont really effect much. Figure all gov spending at the moment is in the red anyways so it would jsut mean we would be deeper in the red which does matter since we are 49 trillion dollars on debt. So realisticaly it costs us but it doesnt since our generations wont be paying of it.
If installed it will show a clear benefit since infrastructure still needs maintenance work, there will be need of in-home service support, and new customers would appear making it so that ISPs would have to support their bandwidth needs. Also with this type of infrastructure there is other services that can be carried over like TV and voip.

so your philosophy is, if you are in debt, who cares, just spend more? sounds great..... I thought Obama was about change not continuing down this crazy path of spending more than we have.

unfortunately you have to spend to get something back. Bush failed because no other country wanted to buy our weapons during the war which would have majorly benefited us.
Obama's way is more of a longer route to money. As more people get jobs and more ISP/phone/voip companies are born the more people get taxed which means that more money goes to the gevernment.
