olddotter writes "According to the WSJ The US government is about to spend $10 Billion to make little difference in us broadband services.

More fundamentally, nothing in the legislation would address the key reason that the U.S. lags so far behind other countries. This is that there is an effective broadband duopoly in the U.S., with most communities able to choose only between one cable company and one telecom carrier. It's this lack of competition, blessed by national, state and local politicians, that keeps prices up and services down.

Get ready for USDA certified Grade A broadband. :-)"
