I read lots of comments here about this subsidizing the poor. Maybe it will, but I also think it will help those that live too far from the telco. My sister owns a small ranch in rural Missouri. She's not some corporate farmer, nor is she living in a McMansion on the outskirts of an urban area. She has dial up, and that's all that is available. If this were 70 years ago she wouldn't even have electricty, because it didn't pay to run those electric lines to every small farm in America. I don't see this as any different. The telcos will never make back their investment running broadband down that country road. She'll do without until something like national broadband comes along.
