In the past, they dumped the money on the largest telecom companies and ask them to make internet faster, and the telecom companies pocket it/pass it off to shareholders and improve nothing.
Looking at the Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Program recipients list, the very largest telecom companies are not listed, so maybe this time will be different.
nationalize it joe!
Broadband speed and prices in some parts of the US are just tragic.
What would really help with giving people better internet access is giving people a public option for the telecoms. See SaskTel in Saskatchewan and Alberta Government Telephones before Don Getty privatized it.
