Are we just building excess capacity that won’t be used like we did with minimums?
I don’t think so, no. There’s clearly demand for high speed broadband, and the US lags behind in average consumer broadband speeds. This creates a bottleneck in Internet technologies and services that mostly affects poorer regions.
We can do better. We already paid for better. It’s time for telecomms to pony up and deliver the results we paid for in the 80s.
