For example, high-speed internet by 2020 to every household in America is most definitely a lofty goal and could prove to be a tremendous engine for economic growth.

Done right it could have the potential to provide a communications system that would open up many cottage industries, like individuals coordinating call center functions.

Or it could be nothing more than an extension of our current monopolistic cable systems where we subsidize their infrastructure and then give it to them.

IOW, will this expansion follow the Chattanooga model or the Comcast model?

Will this be a 21st century Rural Electrification Project?
