ETA: should be Gigabit, not Gigabyte
Obama travelled to Cedar Falls, Iowa today to talk about allowing cities and towns to build their own high speed internet utilities to provide cheap high speed internet to compete with private ISPs people are forced to use because they're the only ISP in town. 20 years ago, Cedar Rapids did just that and Obama wants their model expanded everywhere.
He will expand upon his plan next Tuesday in his SOTU speech. I listened to him on the radio WMT 600 and could not find a problem with this. He wants to clear the road and remove current regulations and State laws to allow cities to build their own internet backbones.
Your thoughts? It doesn't sound like an Obamacare scheme, it will be up to locals to create their own ISPs.
