Once again the Salonocrats with their MacBook Marxism are perfectly happy to pretend they're helping poor people at the expense of the middle class.
But the telco's have already gotten the money to provide high speed internet to the entire country.
Bill Moyers did a whole show on the money that the telco's got from congress to do that, years ago.

Congress said yes.
I pay $225.00 per month for 2 phone lines, my cell phone and DSL. There should be enough money in that to provide the entire country with fiber optic cables to your door! Especially if they charge the same for all people that have the same service as I do AND will cut their extravagant management salaries!
That's $2,700 A YEAR! And I get 3M down and 756k up! We are being robbed!!!
