Just how far does government think it should take it to meet its moving goalpost? A house of cards clearly exists - the USF (or like) v. rate re-balancing to help get us more broadband. US policy has removed most of pricing signals (rate re-balancing) that would allow particpants to enter under-served markets. The USF and other subsidies - the political animal born from Theodore Vails enlightened self-interest - are "too big to fail," and rate re-balancing to politcally distasteful; the only option left is to expand government's role in the roll out.mwendyWed, 22 Oct 2008 10:49:41 -0000
