Talk about "creative destruction"! -ng-

I can't help wondering whether there would have been a "bandwidth glut" if the "last mile" problem had been solved, and how much of the "last mile" problem was due to technology and how much was due to government regulation and how much was due to unwillingness to cooperate in something that was to everyone's mutual advantage?

I think there was - and is - consumer demand but after all that money, we still can't get the technology hooked up to our houses. Sad.

Reminds me of those "highways to nowhere" that "progressive" governments used to build to show how "progressive" they were - - but this was private enterprise.
