Unless the Federal Government gives ATT a blank check and ORDERS them
to this, it is NOT ever going to happen. I have seen copies of Project
Pronto documents that said the San Francisco Bay Area was supposed to
have fiber to the home 10 years ago. Yes, there were a few strands
installed, but
I dont know about a blank check but the government does feel a mandate is in
order and you know who their best friends are. I think the only thing
holding them back is themselves. However, I dont think they'll ever put
fiber to every shanty in every podunk town. -RickG
