Let’s hope this multi billion dollar initiative isn’t just absorbed by private companies.

I can’t find the previous initiative but there was something like this in the past where “broadband” internet was to be accessible. Miles and miles of wires laid down but most of it wasn’t used. Benefited the contractors though.




Fiber ISP came to my town years ago. I live within a few miles of town on a major road yet I still don't have fiber. I call every few months but they just say its not available at my place.
