I would prefer funds be made available to companies:
with annual revenues of $1M or less from Internet services
deploying wireless services with speeds in excess of 10/2 for $100/month
or less
purchasing other companies, but requiring them to make the network
capable of all other requirements (useful in obtaining ideal tower locations
and improving monthly revenues from providers unwilling or incapable of
doing anything
Require wholesale net neutrality, but not retail net neutrality
prefer wireless networks over landlines due to cost effectiveness
Maybe some sort of graduated system where you offer faster, cheaper service
with less restriction and you qualify for higher %ages of grant\loan.
