Government Subsidy for Broadband – I think NOT!

The broadband industry’s lobbyists are hammering politicians for subsidies to the broadband buildout. Consumers are saying, ”show me the content; what will I get for my $40 to $50 per month?” Anyone running a Windows PC knows the answer. To keep that copy of Windows running and to keep your antivirus software up to date, broadband has become almost essential. I suggest we get Microsoft to prepay the telecoms for the bandwidth required to keep a ”PC in every bedroom” running!
