Mr. Reagan,

Great post.

I, too, have been pondering the incongruity of scale between "long haul" fiber and the "last mile" (fiber, copper, whatever.) I am a technophobe, so clearly not the average head of household, but see real value in the "fiber to the front door" vision. What I'm not privy to, is the legal and political issues surrounding this expensive rollout, and the circumstances under which this will occur.

I understand companies (like my local Ameritech) are remiss to even roll out the most meager of high-speed Interest technology because of the significant cost, and highly probable (actual?) mandate that they share this infrastructure with other players. Can you say stalemate?

Any thoughts on what's gonna give in this scenario? Or are we doomed to forever limp along with unreliable DSL and 56k analog?

Thoughts appreciated,

Chuck
