Do you think that a push to improve US broadband is going to hurt your 
business?

Stimulus 1st step in Obama's broadband goals

"The $7.2 billion in funding to promote high-speed Internet in the 
stimulus package is just the first step in the Obama administration's 
effort to fuel expansion of telecommunications services, an adviser to 
the president said on Monday."

"Despite new federal money, the amount is but a fraction of what is 
needed" to establish the United States in terms of broadband versus other 
developed countries, said Blair Levin, an adviser to U.S. President 
Barack Obama on telecom matters during the transition and now an informal 
adviser."
