$10 billion dollars for a national broadband system for Public
Safety??? Hahahaha.... Motorola will eat that up just putting
equipment in for NYC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Miami, and Washington DC.
Prevailing wage and union labor will chew that up so fast it won't be
funny. Just like that other multibillion dollar deal to make more jobs....

commercial wireless carriers. The White House says this would raise
nearly $30 billion over 10 years, and the money could be spent on
initiatives that include $10 billion to develop a national broadband
network for public safety agencies and $5 billion for infrastructure
to help rural areas access high-speed wireless."
Doesn't this just make more spectrum unavailable for general use?

my response:
Dear Mr. President,
I have built, own, and operate an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
company. I have done this with my OWN money, blood, sweat, and tears
for over 13 years. We presently cover 5000 square miles of previously
unsupported areas. So far your broadband stimulus moneys' have done
nothing for my customers but cause interference from wanabe ISPs using
the peoples money to mess things up.
Sure, most of them will be out of business in a couple of years, but
it's still adds more work for those who have to live through it. We
may even do pretty well buying up all that equipment that was
purchased with the peoples monies and squandered.
Leave business to the business people. We don't want your money, it
came with too many strings attached. Rather than sell radio spectrum,
also an asset of the people, you should designate more of it for the
unlicensed bands that us WISPs use.
