ACAM and all ILEC support mechanisms have been formulated over many administrations. Actually the current one had not touched it as far as I know.

They get a big pile of money for 10 years. They have to build out fiber. The presumption is that the welfare checks stop at the end of the 10 year period. Then they have to operate on a straight up business model like everyone else. We will see...

There's almost nowhere with no phone service. We could do it again with fiber, but this would become a very different business. Officially sanctioned monopolies with pricing and service level set by bureaucrats. I would probably not enjoy that new world order, but I'm saying if we (as a society) decided that was an important goal there is already a blazed trail we could follow.

We simply are wasting money left and right with failed political decisions and not one voting politician seems to really care. They don’t even know what broadband mapping is yet.

One of the counties in our service area is in the process of 'thinking about building a fiber network that we(they) will run ourselves' We're looking for examples we can give them where the government built then network, but was then unable to continue to run it, or it didn't play out the way they expected. Here in Illinois, another county just recently transferred their BTOP funded Fiber network to a private entity because they were convinced they didn't want to run it anymore (there's more to the story, but that's the long and short from what I gather) There's gotta be stories like this all over, has there been a list compiled somewhere? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
