45Mbps broadband? We already paid $200 billion for it.

techdirt.com — Next time the telcos complain about Net Neutrality, remind them that they still owe us the open access, symmetrical 45Mbps broadband that they received $200 billion for - and never delivered.

If the claims made here are true, the government should be imposing some serious sanctions on the telecos. The money they have scammed is not as important as the critical services that they have failed to provide. These services are a critical key to America remaining competitive in the internet era. Just imagine how much better positioned we would be in the world if we could have a 45mbit symetrical open connection to the web?

    Serious stuff here.
