How are they the only source for VoIP? T1 is now legacy, so I

You wouldn't want to disband CLECs. They're the ones that usually
"deliver" T1 and T3 circuits (though people shouldn't be
purchasing their service via T1 or T3) and the only source for
VoIP access.

Stuart,
This is not ARRA monies, i.e., tax dollars. This is USF funds
that have already been collected.
This is also the same network plan that my company developed and
handed to U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra. Our broadband stimulus plan was
for a shared network, with Public Safety, mobile and fixed
wireless. It was also a ‘community based’ so that the local
communities shared in the profits … haven’t seen that part yet …
I think this is the new plan and to disband the CLEC … breaking up
the monopoly! At least this is what I am hoping for.

Does everyone forget where this stimulus money comes from ( or
will ) or what ? This stimulus money is turning everyone into
Ostriches to the problems it brings now and the future.
Most everyone I know in this industry for years has built out with
their own capabilities. Can more money help build out more areas
quicker ? Well hades yea !
This money isn't going back to the people, it's a loan believe it
or not. They need to take all of this supposedly extra money and
give it directly back to the people.
If they want to promote broadband, then maybe a coupon idea, for
verification and accountability only, is a good idea. The coupon
is worth what, $31, based on the population of the USA of 315
million and the recent bandied about $10 million dollar figure.
Best idea to promote broadband is not to tax it and make anything
remotely associated with broadband, even a Wii, 100% deductible.
Bottom line, if you've got this surplus of money in the government
and want to stimulate the economy ( broadband or not ), give it
back to the people.
With that, Go Buckeyes !!
