And this is a shame because this is exactly what should exist, were it
not for the fact that the US is in decline.

if everyone has gigabit.... not gonna happen.
(I have 500/100 here in Northern VA).

You seem to be in a part of the country where the thinkers are more
progressive and forward thinking. Greed is the bottom line.

Thanks Anthony,
Actually, not certain where I am ATM. I am still a bit freaked out. I
suppose EPB (Electric Power Board) was serious about building out the
"Scenic City" area to showcase a Giga-bit networkgrid. Sure, I know
EPB didit mainly so they could control all the new modern power
distribution and switching equipment they installed to provide better
QOS.
I guess I'm confused still. If EPB can and has done GBit, what is
stopping other major metro areas from doing the same thing? Sure,
money, equipment, vision, dedication, whatever. At EPB, TN I have
Harold Depriest sitting at the top of EPB; and, Harold risked a bit
and said, "Let's make this so!"He pulled it off. Thank you Harold.
