We all have a substancial amount of capital invested in our own ventures... If the Government would like to reimburse us on our investments before they make the Internet a invaluable investment. I wouldn't have much issue with that. However, from what I see they are just trying to make the Internet a free public right. And for what reason? If someone wants something, free enterprise usually puts it in place with a price. The price is to make sure it benefits the entrepreneur and the customer. Free benefits only the customer. Doesn't build revenue that pays for taxes, employees, sparsk anyones economy.... Get me drift....
So, in short what would I like to see....., I would like to see grant money go to those that have already embarked on the challenge of populating the rural markets with quality Internet service with Qaulity Customer service behind it. I have yet to receive any communication or dollars from my government, other than to spend more money on their so called public safety initiatives, like calea... ...enough, that should get the sounding board moving...just incase anyone needs to know who posted such a Capitalistic Republican view.
