Sam, Good question. The way the ball is rolling now, only high-income, urban areas will obtain broadband access (until the satellites enter the picture in about 5 years).

Maybe, that's how it will all turn out- many competitors fighting over the most lucrative broadband markets while the satellites pick off the rest.

Certainly, it's a high national priority for American businesses and consumers to have broadband access when you consider the alternative. Are we willing to become a second-rate info/com power?

How we get there shouldn't be Federally mandated but offering tax incentives to broadband access providers to provide economical broadband access in areas of the nation which are presently "economically infeasible" (as so well put by our Bell Atlantic friend) makes a good deal of sense (except to the "I've got mine, screw you" crowd).
