Increasing broadband

For the first time, there is an argument saying we need to make something mainstream equal in dollar and quality value.

In Nate Anderson's article "Fixing US broadband: $100 billion for fiber to every home," Anderson quotes EDUCAUSE saying, "broadband prices in countries without unbundling policies exceed prices in countries with unbundling policies."

Anderson shows that the U.S. is falling behind other countries — for no reason — when it comes to broadband packaging. He states that not only are we extremely slow, but we are also extremely expensive when it comes to broadband.

As I said, when it comes to things big businesses own, we usually argue about fairness and objectivity. But here, the truth of the matter is we need quicker, cheaper broadband access to stay on top of our game. It's nice to know that sometimes we just want whats best for everybody.
