I'm all for having someone else pay for expensive infrastructure, but I hope that if the feds go forward with something like this, it's done differently than the RUS system. It's easier to do business my way and pay a tiny bit more for money from a bank, than to do all the RUS planning and paperwork hoops to get RUS subsidized loans.
Speaking of RUS, has anyone noticed any crossroads wireless stuff happening? They've signed up to be at lots of sites, but I haven't actually heard much about deployment activity.
