    It should be, but you underestimate how many communities have limited access still.

    We would have more line laid but telecoms pocketed the money since Congress didn’t put any performance requirements in the bill or contracts.

      Oh, no, rural broadband and the telco money pit that was going to make it a reality are very real and I consider myself lucky to live where I actually have “choice” in my provider options.

      As for performance clauses, who’s to say whether they were there and stripped out in committee.
