I guess the issue comes down to the fact society needs roads. Independent contractors build the roads but the citizens share those roads that are maintained by taxpayer dollars. Dollars that are then spent on private contractors to do major new work on these roads. How does this situation differ from the need of the citizens to have ubiquitous freely available broadband access for the greater good of commerce? There is no way to put a dollar amount on how much revenue has been generated by giving citizens free access to roads. People use the roads to get to work, marketers advertise on the sides of roads. Gas stations, malls, eateries, etc. populate the roads for commerce and these city/state/federal roads give the drivers easy access to these revenue streams. We must build broadband roads to facilitate the future of business in this country. How do we do it so the roads can be freely traveled by the citizens in order to create these new revenue streams? -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
