Here is an idea for a federal policy plan to end the broadband access
problems. How about Base Station Licenses instead of 10,000 square mile
licenses like we do now. Anyone could buy a Base Station License. Heaven
forbid a regular person should be allowed to compete with a Megasuck.net
RBOC! Someday I will share with all of you what it is like to be part of
the license auction system as I just went through in the AWS auction.
Root canals are more fun.
