It's kinda huge, the US broadband infrastructure outside big cities sucks. I'm wondering why the media isn't reporting this? Too boring?
Because this was also done in the 90's & the corporations mostly either pocketed the cash or used it to buy smaller competitors.
I've been in communications for almost 30 years. My company's potential customers went from around 50 to 4 during that time period.
Isn't that an argument for increased media attention this time around?
"Look what these fuckers did last time they got similar funding!"
Who do you think owns the media?
I guess I was reading too hastily and conflated media attention with public outcry.
Yeah, fair enough.
...4 customers?
It's only a potential of 4... could be 0 customers
