Tim, you're dead wrong. Didn't you hear that the government, led by Al Gore, created the Internet? ;-) I'm only kidding, of course. But you should hear the staunch few who still defend Gore for saying that. Even if it were true, it still advances the flawed notion that government is the source and the driver of all modern innovation. Tenchusatsu

Hi Tim, RE: "it forced a standard which was inflexible" IP packets run on anything, so how would fiber make the IP standards inflexible? (I'll qualify by saying, I'm not a material scientist) Do you attend the IETF meetings? RE: "If the idea of a nationally subsidized system is to make such systems affordable for me and thee, then just give us a tax cut instead." to the businesses that install it in the less than desirable market areas. That's no different than the land grants of the railroad days, though hopefully sans gouging. Regards, Amy J
