They could have bought everyone a Starlink and maybe a year subscription for less than $2000 and connected 21,000,000 homes/businesses (rural) etc. in just a couple months, biggest delay would have been Elon building the antennas once he received the order. The Biden administration would have looked good. (But they’re the gang that couldn’t shoot straight).

Now who needs the government? Users can do that on their own.

"Rural broadband" has been a leftist NGO slush fund for decades. Whenever a bill has money for "rural broadband" you know broadband won't be rural.

Biden spent $42 Billion to expand broadband to more Americans, and connected ZERO homes in 4 years.

Last year we had workers in our very rural neighborhood installing fiber optic cable.

I asked a guy how long they’d be doing it and he responded “until the money runs out.”

I guess the money ran out, since they never connected any houses to the fiber.
